(* items available from South East Cruising School)

It is essential that you just bring one carrier bag (soft, no rigid frames) as space is very limited for stowage (possibly 5 persons on board).

It is a good idea to also bring a personal LOGBOOK (ISA/RYA) to record your progress/certificates achieved. We might be able to supply one if you contact us beforehand.

For the record, we have no way of knowing in advance what the weather will be doing or other problems, so we cannot guarantee that the boat will be back at base on the appointed day/time. If it is not possible to keep to our schedule, anyone leaving the boat will be responsible for their own travel expenses/ arrangements.

**Holiday Insurance (see below)

It is essential that you just bring one carrier bag (soft, no rigid frames) as space is limited for stowage (possibly 6 or more persons on board).

It is a good idea to also bring a personal LOGBOOK (ISA/RYA) to record your progress/certificates achieved.

For the record, we have no way of knowing in advance what the weather will be doing or other problems, so we cannot guarantee that the boat will be back at the Marina base on the appointed day/time. If it is not possible to keep to our schedule, each person will be responsible for his/her own return travel expenses/ arrangements.

N.B. check your Holiday Insurance inclusions/exclusions - ensure Sailing Risks are covered.

**It is imperative you have Holiday Insurance**
