Winter Dinghy Platform Parking – Online Application Form
Application for platform parking for dinghies this winter is a true application process (whereby your application may be denied or put on hold until priority groups are catered for) as space is very limited on the platform. We hope that we will be able to cater for...
Platform Clearance
Dear Summer Platform Parking users.
The Summer Platform Parking Season is coming to an end and we need a total platform clearance of all the dinghies and other types currently on the deck to make room for the lift-out which is scheduled for Saturday 16th October.
If your boat is not in use in one of the Club organised training, anymore please make sure to come and collect it as soon as possible as the skeleton boathouse staff needs to reconfigure the platform well in advance of the lift-out to make room for cradles deliveries from Monday 11th October
ALL dinghies (optimists / Toppers / Lasers / Topaz / Vagos / 29ers / Fireballs / RS 400 / RS 200 etc...) must be removed by Sunday 10th October 18:00 at the very latest.
Please note that we do not have room to store any boat even temporarily on the Carlisle Pier and cannot facilitate any such request!
The Committee is currently reviewing the UNPRECEDENTED HIGH DEMAND for platform space from the various user groups this winter (junior dinghy sailors / adult dinghy sailors / single handed / 2 handed boats / keelboat winter storage) and will have to limit the various classes of boats to strict numbers. An online winter platform parking application form reflecting the fact that demand will outstrip supply will be issued shortly.
