BSC Dinghy Park
In anticipation of further gales in the coming months please check that your boat is adequately secured. Aside from damaging your own boat, you may be subject to third party claims for damage caused to other boats.
Also when accessing your boats please ensure you do not drive cars off the gravel access road onto the grass. The ground is saturated and is becoming badly damaged and destroyed in places.
Thank you
