Appledore CHURCHFIELD SLIPWAY
2008
Conditions of Use
 | These conditions shall apply to all craft that use the Churchfield Slipway Appledore, except for those that can be carried/launched by ONE person ONLY without the use of any type of trailer or any other device used for the movement of such craft on land. (Exemptions are likely to include such craft as canoes, sailboards and small non-motorised tenders.) |
| A charge for the use of the Slipway will apply to all craft except those exempt in accordance with the above paragraph. |
| All craft with the exception of those exempt above, or members of the Instow Yacht Club shall be required to register their craft with the Northern Devon Coast & Countryside Service. The purpose of this FREE registration scheme is to ensure that all craft have adequate liability insurance and to encourage compliance with the voluntary code of Conduct for Estuary Users. |
| Visitors to our area whose craft are not registered with the Coast & Countryside Service will be required to sign a disclaimer on initial use of the Slipway confirming that they have the necessary liability insurance in place. They will then need to subsequently register on the scheme to enable future use of the Slipway. (Disclaimers are available from the Slipway Warden) |
| Charges will apply between 1st April and 30th September each year. |
| The parking of vehicles including trailers and other equipment used for the launch of craft will not be permitted on the Slipway. All offending vehicles, including trailers and or other devices may be liable to an Excess Charge and or removal. |
| Access to the Slipway must be maintained at all times. Operators of craft waiting to launch must form an orderly queue. At extremely busy times the Warden will allocate operators of craft time slots for launching/recovery. |
| The Warden has total authority to prevent any craft from using the Slipway if they are not satisfied that there is adequate insurance in place or the launch fee has not been paid or the behaviour of the operator is detrimental to the use of other users of the Slipway. |
