Club Sailing Boats (Hobie-Cat, Laser , Laser-2000, Topper, Optimist, Windsurfers) are available to any member of RAHRC/RAHBC, with a valid helm-ticket for that class of boat, on a first come first serve basis.  During events such as races and training, the OOD or Trainer determines the assignment of Club boats and in his/her absence the relevant Sailing Captain, Commodore or Boatsman. 

To take out a Club boat, the rules above apply with the addition of:

• Sign in the log book

• Where the helm is a child under the age of 16, entry must be made by the child's parent or supervisor, who should be a full member or associate member of RAHRC/RAHBC. 

• Rig the boat and get permission from the Boatman to launch it.

• A maximum of two children or one adult and one child is permitted on a Club Laser.

• Upon return, thoroughly clean the boat and sails with fresh water. De-rig and return the sails, dry and gently folded.

• Sign out in the log book and note any damage/repairs to the boat and inform the Boatsman
