Boat Fleet

Boat fleet

Over the last 10 years we have been very lucky to grow the fleet of boats the group owns, with the help of grants, gifts, donations and fundraising we now have a working fleet of boats mostly in good order, some in need of renovation some new. here is an outline of the fleet

We are now mainly happy with the sailing fleet, but will be looking to upgrade to newer examples as funds allow.

Safety/Teaching Powerboats
Boat	Type	Name	Engine	Coments
Avon Searider 4.0m	RIB	Brenig	40hp Yamaha, 4 Stroke	Our main safetyboat for lakes, esturarys and the sea
Humber Costal pro 3.4m	RIB	Frank	Tohatsu 15, 4 Stroke	Our Main safetyboat for the river
Avon Rover 3.1m	RIB	Little Rib	Honda 10, 4 Stroke	Our old river safetyboat now used for teaching sailing
Blitz 3.1m	Inflatable	ze blitz	Honda 10, 4 Stroke	teaching platform for sailing
3.1m	inflatable	bratworst	Mariner 4hp, 2 stroke	Teaching platform for sailing

we are trying to replace our 2stroke outboards with more efficient and eco friendly 4strokes, and also to buy when funds allow a second larger RIB for costal work and safety on open water as we have to borrow them at the moment.

Canoes & Kayaks
Type	Quantity	Coments
Canadian Canoe Coleman 17	x8	These are the mainstay of the canoe fleet
Canadian Canoe 16	x1
Falchion Kayak	x9
Dagger RPM	x3
G20	x4	Kindly on long term Loan from Landrover
Other kayaks	x10	a colection of kayaks including dancers, masters and others

We aim to get a few more playboats then start replacing some of the 20 year old boats as funds allow.

Rowing/Pulling boats
Type	Quantity	Name	Capacity	rowing positions	Coments
Rover	x2	Mary & Elizabeth	4 rowing 8 total	2 fixed benches	also used for sailing and powerboat trips, can be sculled too
Clinker	x1	Clinker	4 rowing 5 total	2 fixed benches	can be sculled too
Virus Yole	x2	unnamed	2 rowing	2 sliding seats

We would like to replace the clinker with a modern lighter boat that is easier to maintain but it is a thing of beauty, so it may not happen.
