Yard Storage
Sadly the Summer Sailing Season of 23/24 season has ended. We have all had a great year. As You know Yard Storage also ends on the 31st May. During the winter we allow the grass to grow and do essential maintenance. Therefore we kindly request all craft to be removed from the yard by May 31st. The exception to this rule is people who will be using their craft during the winter - eg Winter sailing series participants. Any craft left in the yard after the 31st of May will be required to pay Winter Storage fees, which is the same cost as Summer Storage fees.
Thanks - James Yardmaster
