New Racks !

Thanks to the work of Richard and Alan we now have 3 very solid 3 metre wide all wooden racks at Derwentwater Marina.  Thanks to Steve the contractor working for the Marina who did the work.

One of these is 3 metres long for racing and larger boats, and 2 are 2 metres long for general boats. The racks are designed to float with boats in place when it floods.  They will be loose chained to the their concrete footings to make sure they don't then escape down the Middle Derwent !
 
We are very grateful to Sport England who grant aided the club to allow the replacement of the existing racks damaged in Storm Desmond, otherwise we would have had to levy the membership.

On Saturday 5th March a group from the club will be relocating the boats onto the new racks - meet up at the marina at 10h30.  If you can help please come along !

We'll be working to improve the hanging and security arrangements on the racks over the next few weeks.
