Dinghy Compound

837369 orig

Allocated Berths

Current berth allocations are shown on the map, which is also available as download at the bottom of the page. If you believe your allocation is wrong, please contact the Dinghy Compound Co-ordinator using the form on the Contact page selecting "Dinghy Compound" as the topic. They will then work with you to ensure your allocation is updated appropriately.

Members are expected to make sure that their boats are tied down securely. Pegs, stakes or twist in tethers can be driven into the ground either side of your boat. A rope or straps can be used to anchor your boat to these. Remember that it's very important for you to tie your boat down when in the dinghy compound. Dinghies can easily be blown over causing damage to your own and neighbouring boats.

Members are expected to maintain their berths and keep them tidy, i.e. strimming them regularly. Due to constant abuse, the club strimmer is no longer available for members' use. If a member does not have a strimmer and cannot borrow one, there are shears and a long bill-hook in the cage in the boatshed that can be used for difficult weeds.

Expect to have the same allocated berths as last year unless you are asked to move or have not paid.

Requesting a Berth

If you would like a berth, please contact the Dinghy Compound Co-ordinator using the form on the Contact page selecting "Dinghy Compound" as the topic. You will then be allocated an appropriate berth. While waiting for a berth to be allocated, please park your boat in one of the temporary berths, E28-E37. Please do not take what looks like a vacant berth elsewhere, Many boats move on and off the dinghy compound frequently and it is annoying to return to find your allocated berth occupied by another boat.

Changing Berths

If you would like to change your berth allocations, please contact the Dinghy Compound Co-ordinator using the form on the Contact page selecting "Dinghy Compound" as the topic. They will contact you to understand your requirement and where possible change your allocation.

Berth Cost

The current fee is £42 per berth per year payable via the website. After payment, you will be issued a year sticker that you must attach to your boat's stern or transom. Boats without a current year sticker may be considered abandoned.

Dinghy Compound Maintenance

A club volunteer keeps the central tracks mown.

We run working parties to tidy the communal areas of the dinghy compound throughout the year. This is not in lieu of members maintaining their own berths.. These will be announced in advance on the club forum and Facebook page. If you are available to help please come along.

Occasionally we may need to move your boat to complete dinghy compound maintenance. If so, we will attempt to contact you first but this is not always possible.
