The following principle changes and clarifications have been made to the Water Users Group terms for the 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024 period:
Insurance
Water Craft Proficiency
Launch Sites
To increase the minimum cover level for insurance held by members of the water users group in line with industry standards.
To ensure that members of the Water Users Group have undertaken a recognised proficiency course for the type of craft being used.
Following a review of potential PWC launch sites around the Thanet coastline, the Eastern Undercliff site was selected as the most appropriate and viable site for Water User Group members to launch PWC.
These changes were made to update and improve the requirements for launching PWC and to mitigate risk to all water users.
