Boats and Equipment

The club's fleet list is described below. All members are requested to use the boat booking diary (usually located on the shelf underneath the television next to the women's changing rooms). Bookings may be made up to one week in advance (excluding racing).  If you have any doubt about using any boat or piece of equipment, it is always best to ask.
