Club Boats

Club boats can be hired by members throughout the year. The only time they are not available is when they are being used for club RYA Training Courses, Junior Days (Toppers) and some special events (eg Family Fun Days). A hire session is morning (before 13:00), afternoon (13:00 to 17:00) or evening (after 17:00). Members are advised to book boats to avoid disappointment. On Sundays a boat can be booked for all races as a single hire session.

Hire Charges 2010 (Members Only)
RS Vision £12
RS Feva, GP14 and Wanderer £8
Topper and Laser 1/Radial £5
Optimist (Priority use by Under 13s) FREE

Laser, GP14, Wanderer and Optimist

The club's own menagerie! The Laser is often raced on a Sunday, the GP14 and Wanderer are used for adult courses and are also available to hire. This year (2010) the GP14 is being upgraded to take part in the West Lancs Yacht Club 24 Hour Race which is sailed in "classic" boats. The two Optimists are available to the under-13s to use (for free) and we encourage parents to supervise the Under-8s in these boats (RYA courses start at age 8).
