Some Trip Advice

You can get cold while sailing, so bring warm clothes! Headgear is important in dinghies if you are not used to ducking under a dinghy boom. Non-slip footwear that can get wet is essential. A change of clothing, particularly trousers, can improve your quality of life after sailing. Food is not included in the day, so bring your own or else buy what you fancy from the Grafham catering service.

Safety: Inland waters can sometimes harbour infections. Although the Club has never experienced such a problem at Grafham, it is good practice to cover any cuts with a waterproof adhesive dressing – and wash hands before eating.   Also, as mentioned above, watch out for the dinghy boom, which is a major source of head injuries that are at best unpleasant, if not life threatening.

If you are a registered student of Cambridge University and have submitted your CRSid to us, you are covered by personal accident insurance while participating in a Dinghy Trip. Although we have never had an accident in the last 10 years, if you are a postdoc or a student of another institution you would be wise to ascertain what personal accident cover you have when you are taking part in sporting activities and associated travel.
