Members may use club gear at club times. We recommend that paddlers buy their own equipment as they become more experienced.
Club gear includes the following:
- canoe
- paddle
- buoyancy aid
- spray deck
- helmet with face guard
These must be worn at all times whilst on the water.
The following are recommended for canoeing: water shoes/boots, neopane shorts and t-shirts.
For those that intend to paddle on a regular basis the following are recommended: wet shoes, wet trousers, rash vest and thermals and cag for when the weather is cold.
When purchasing a buoyancy aid ensure that it is the correct fit for your body size and weight. Similarly the spray deck must suit the cockpit of your particular boat. Club buoyancies are available to buy from club.
No member should borrow another member’s boat or equipment without his or her permission.
Access to the water using club boats should not be gained by launching form the side of the canal.
All members must ensure that all equipment is tidied away after use and the storage area is to be kept free of tripping hazards, or rubbish.
Advice on buying equipment is freely available from senior members or committee members. Second hand equipment/gear is sometimes available to purchase.
