Once you have achieved a basic standard you can hire these boats for £6.00 per person for a two hour session.

Training Clothing

It is not necessary to purchase specialised clothing. To get started you can get by with:

  • Warm clothing (in light layers)
  • Fleece or sweatshirt
  • Shorts or lightweight trousers – NOT jeans
  • Windproof lightweight jacket
  • Warm hat and gloves particularly in cold weather
  • Lightweight nonslip footwear (e.g. Trainers )
  • Swim shorts, tee-shirt and sunblock if it is hot and sunny during the day
  • Wetsuit if you have one

Dress for the weather and remember the water is cold.

Other requirements:

  • Spare change of clothing (2 sets) and a towel as there is always a chance you may get wet
  • Buoyancy Aid. A few Buoyancy aids are available from the club and from Strathclyde Park reception
  • Wetsuits may be hired from Strathclyde Park reception

For the future it may be worth investing in:

  • Buoyancy Aid
  • Wetsuit / drysuit
  • Dinghy boots
  • Sailing gloves
