New Kevlar Racing Open Canoes!
The Club has been kindly loaned three canoes for the summer, two of which are ready for use immediately.
We have a fast 18ft touring Wenonah Jensen open canoe, with alloy gunwale which is ready for use. This is labelled "On Loan 1".
We have also been loaned two 21ft ICF spec racing open canoes. “On Loan 3” is also ready for use, however "On Loan 2" lacks any buoyancy, so is not to be touched until further notice. Remedial work is planned for the near future.
Raked canoe paddles are to be found inside "On Loan 2" and must be returned there after use.
Please remember, these craft are exceptionally light and therefore fragile. They are to be treated like any other racing craft which cost around £3,000 each, especially in the event of a capsize. Do not take them out unless you are comfortable with emptying them. Any damage must be reported either to myself or Zoe without delay.
So please treat them with respect while you sit and switch!
Brian Biffin & Zoe Griffiths
