HIRE PERIODS and FEES.

Terms and Conditions for Hiring Club Dinghies to Members Only.

The hirer is responsible for launching and rigging the dinghy at the start of a session, de-rigging and stowing away at the end of a session. 30 minutes either side of the hire period may be used for this.

Hirer's of dinghies must either hold a RYA level two dinghy certificate or have proved their competence to one of the Club's RYA instructors.

Payment will be required with completed hire documents.

In respect of Junior Members, a parent/carer is responsible for the completion of the hire documents and must remain at the Club.

Members wishing to hire a boat must do so in advance.

To do this, they must contact any committee member who will note all the details regarding the hire. They will then contact the Race Officer/Power Boat Operator who will be on duty on that particular day to confirm that this would be in order. If neither person is available they will contact another Committee Member to see if they would be available. The Hirer will then be contacted to confirm that they will be able to hire on that day. Help will be given with rigging and de-rigging.

Should any damage occur to a Club Boat during the hire session it must be reported to Otley Sailing Club’s representative authorising the hire, and the necessary Damage Report Form must be completed with full details.

There is no provision for hiring out club boats to non members.
