Hire a Club Boat

We have a range of club owned dinghies available for our members, consisting of single and double handed boats, from the perfect beginner boats for children and adults to those that are more suited for sailors with some experience.

The process for club members to hire a club owned dinghy is very straightforward and we will assist you in doing this. Club boats are booked online after an acquaint and chat with training via ali.west@hillheadsc.org.uk. Club boats are not available to hire if the wind indicator reads above 16 knots.

Once you have had the familiarisation and are given the green light to book go to the “Book online” tab on the website

This will show the bookable events at the club including the club boats.

Click on the class of boat you want to book.

Select the actual boat you want.

This opens the calendar for your chosen boat, click on the button “boat booking slots”, on the upper left hand side of the window which turns green. You will now view the calendar. If a date is red it’s not available if blue it is.

A black line will appear around the date you have selected and the date and the fee will be displayed in the section below the calendar.

If you are happy with the date and fee then tick the “I agree to the terms and conditions” for this booking.

Then click “add to cart”. Then add the boat to the basket.

Go to the “basket” in the top right hand corner of the window. This is where you can accept the booking click on the green payment button, and make the payment for the hire. This will then give you the options of how to pay for the hire.

An email will be sent to the administrator to confirm the booking.

When you have finished using the boat please put it and the related equipment away in the correct slot and as you found it. If there are any defects to the boat or equipment please log them in the defect book in the foyer so that they can be addressed before the next hire.
