The final decision as to whether you take a Kayak out will be up to you. You should paddle within your own ability and take note of the weather forecast. Kayaking on the sea is not permitted. As the person hiring the Kayak, you have a duty of care to yourself and the club Kayak that you are hiring. Prior to use, the hirer should inspect the Kayak and note any defects: If these deem the Kayak unsuitable for use then the hirer will receive a refund of the hire fee. Any defects should be emailed to canoe@slaughdensailing.co.uk and noted on the Bosun's whiteboard in the OoDs office. Where appropriate the hirer may be asked to assist in fixing the problem.
Booking and Paying

Income will be used for maintaining and increasing the club Kayaks fleet. Payment of hire is by invoice sent electronically paid on-line via Stripe or BACS.
