Hiring club windsurfing equipment

The club has windsurfing kit that is available for hire by club members only. It is kept in the Equipment Store next to the dinghy park. The Equipment Store is usually locked outside of club opening hours so if you intend to use club kit for members’ buddy sailing it will be dependent on there being someone who has a clubhouse key, knows the alarm codes and knows the codes to get the key from the office.

HIRE CHARGES APPLYAll kit is to be signed out – including beginner boards used as SUPs. Instructions are on the dividing wall in the store. This kit is not intended for long term use as an alternative to having your own. If your circumstances mean that the hire charges will limit or prevent you sailing please contact the windsurfers on the committee – Georgina, Gill or Vince –  to discuss options.

Equipment is on a first come first served basis and cannot be reserved in advance. Club training also takes priority so if club training is happening please check with the instructors before you take any kit.

  • Intermediate Boards are not to be left on the rocky foreshore at any time – either on the grass or on the water ONLY.
  • Beginner boards suitable for use as SUPs are on the rack outside marked with a red spot on the tail. You may want to remove the daggerboard, but please replace once finished. Paddles are in the store behind the beginner sails.
