1. Generic guide to using boats

The purpose of this guide is to explain the procedures you need to follow to enjoy the boats and the practices we’d like you to observe.

It is general rather than prescriptive in nature, but it is important to take the time to read through this guide, which is based on the principles of good seamanship. Please get in touch if you have any questions or feel certain areas need clarification. The more care we take of our boats, the longer they will last and the fewer failures we will experience.

This guide complements the individual boat guides below which detail the specific systems and set up of each boat.
