Incidents of theft from boats and items on trailers

It has been bought to the committees attention that recently there have been several incidents of theft from boats and items on trailers while unattended in the dinghy park.  All incidents have been reported to the police.

This is a reminder to all members and visitors that all equipment left in/on boats and in/on trailers may not be covered by your respective insurance policy. The club grounds and premises are used by several different organisations at different times of the day and at times the gates are unlocked/open for far greater times than in the past so security cannot and never has been be guaranteed by the sailing club which can accept no liability for any lose of equipment incurred by any user of the club facilities.

The onus is on the members to read their insurance policy/conditions and if unsure contact the company directly for advise.  The club does make available for members a container for use for storage which, again, needs to be locked by each individual using it to ensure it is maintained as secure storage.
