Conditions
The Dry Sailing Order Form/Payment Slip (PDF 8KB) should be completed and returned to Mrs. Kim Scott-Robinson at the Berthon Boat Company Limited with your payment PRIOR to commencement of contract. Yachts will generally be launched on Fridays and recovered on Mondays when possible. Bank Holidays we launch Thursday and recover Tuesday as appropriate. Please do not leave instructions for the boat to be launched every weekend on the off chance of using it. Berthon will monitor frequency of use upon launching; should any owner abuse this contract by consistently launching without intention to sail the boat, we reserve the right to make a charge of £100 for the launch and lift on the occasions when the boat has not been used.
- No sub-contractors are permitted to work on the boat on the yard premises.
- All cars are to be parked in the Lymington Marina car park. No cars are allowed elsewhere on boatyard premises.
- Berthon Boat Company accepts no responsibility for poorly moored yachts if damage is caused.
