[CUCBC Captains] Damage to Narrowboat

[Conor Burgess]

Dear Captains,

Unfortunately, we've just heard from the owners of the "Stourbridge" narrow
boat, which is moored on the Chesterton side of the Green Dragon
footbridge, about quite serious damage to their paintwork. Could you all
please enquire with your crews to see if they were involved and report back
if they were?

They won't be in serious trouble, but the owners would very much appreciate
an apology. If repairs are required, that's why we insist your clubs all
have third party liability insurance - your crews, coxes and coaches
shouldn't be shying away from owning up to damage for fear of the
consequences. Damage to the paintwork of narrow boats can lead to much more
serious damage and much more expense if left untreated, and as this damage
is on the river side of the boat, it isn't seen by the owners as often, so
we're not quite sure how recently this occurred. That more serious damage
can be avoided by reporting paint damage promptly and honestly. If in doubt
about who to contact, you can email committee at cucbc.org (CCed here).

Best wishes,
Conor
