Sick of paddling a tub?

Spend a small amount on club membership and access a fleet. Come and see.

Join and learn about boats before you buy your own – otherwise this could be you!

Come dressed in sensible gear (e.g. shorts, shirt (long sleeves if possible, and shoes that you don’t mind if they get wet). A hat and dark glasses are also recommended. You can bring a towel and dry clothes just in case….. (though it’s not likely you’ll need these).
