Fleet Access - Guidelines
Booking for HRC equipment is made via the boat booking system. Details on fleet access are available on website <HERE>
Over the next week details on fleet usage rules will be posted around the sheds and all equipment will be marked.
All HRC boats and oars are designated as either green or red. (Note, the previous amber category has been revised to green giving members broader equipment access). All paid up club members have rights to access and book green fleet (about 70 % of club inventory).
Boats and oars designated as red are part of the competitive race fleet. This equipment is allocated to crews competing or training to compete for HRC. Access to this part of fleet requires permission <Details Here>
