Personal buoyancy should always be worn when you go afloat.
There are Club buoyancy aids that can be borrowed in your early days.
There are several Club owned boats that can be hired at a nominal fee per
session. Full details of how to book, rig, stow away and pay for your use of the
Club Boats are to be found in the Club Entrance Hall.
Sailing outside of the normal club programme time.
When members choose to sail at times other than the normal Club programmed time,
they will need to be totally responsible for their own safety and their use of
the club premises. If you choose to sail outside the normal club programme:
* Have regard for the Bridge Club activity most afternoons.
* Lock the premises before leaving the beach.
* Remember to switch off the electricity in the storeroom after using the winch.
* Reactivate the alarm before leaving the Club premises.
Reminder about the tides at Downs SC - there is a tidal flow towards Ramsgate
(i.e. North) which starts 2 hours before high water, followed by a flow towards
Dover starting 4 hours after high water.
