Booking a Crane
The Club has two cranes for use by qualified Club members only. The larger 9-tonne Heila hydraulic crane in Hooker's Dock is used to lift heavier boats and yachts. The smaller Scotch electrically operated crane in the Main Yard is used for lighter boats such as Squibs and dinghies.
Members must read, understand, and agree to the associated operating procedures and safety plan. The link is on the bottom of the page.
Padlock combination codes for the Yard gates and Heila crane are available on the Access and Security page.
Report any defects or maintenance issues to facilities@wsc.org.uk
