Borrow a Boat
I hear you have "loaner" boats how do I get involved?
Yes, we keep a club boat available for aspiring illusionists. To book them out e-mail olly@laughton-scott.com. We try to keep them in good condition although inevitably most sailors who try them move on to their own boats with their own sails etc. in the long run. We ask for a small donation each day you sail a boat – it is suggested at £15 per day
How many times can I use a loan boat before I have to buy one?
We don’t limit it but you will probably get addicted to illusion sailing long before it becomes a problem. You will then have to choose between having a new one built or you can buy a second hand one. Most of the top helmsman sail old boats that they have put their own controls where they want them, painted them with desired finish etc. some of the top boats are surprisingly elderly and the general consensus is that new boats are not faster than old boats.
