Amounts vary from £1,500 for a small yacht in the UK to over £3,000 for a larger yacht in the Med.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFortunately, most deductions made by charter companies in the event of damage are relatively small. Common problems include lost fenders, small marks to the gelcoat, blocked toilets or ripped horseshoe buoys. Bills for such issues tend to be in the region of £50 to £200, and the Club feels it reasonable that individual skippers and or their crews deal with these small liabilities among themselves.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, the Club recognises that the possibility of a yacht sustaining more significant, costly damage (i.e. above £200) may be off-putting to skippers, especially those who are relatively new to organising or skippering trips. For this reason, the Club has created the LSC Muck-up Fund. This is a discretionary fund, and any grants made from the fund will be contingent on approval from the Club’s management committee. However, provided a member’s trip meets each of the following criteria and has been approved in advance for potential future recourse to the fund, the fund may contribute up to £1,000 towards the cost of damage sustained beyond the initial £200 threshold. The exact amount of any grant will be discretionary and will be contingent on approval from the Club’s management committee. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-size: 18px;\u0022\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022font-size: 20px;\u0022\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-size: 18px;\u0022\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022font-size: 20px;\u0022\u003eEligibility criteria\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo be considered for possible recourse to the LSC Muck-up Fund, an individual trip must:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ecomply with all \u003ca href=\u0022https://www.londonsailing.club/Cms/Spaces/DEFAULT/Club+Policy\u0022\u003eLSC policies\u003c/a\u003e;\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003etake place on a sailing yacht rather than a purely power-driven vessel;\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003etake place entirely within UK territorial waters (i.e. the 12nm line);\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003enot involve racing;\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003enot involve the use of a spinnaker or cruising chute;\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003enot be run on a commercial or for-profit basis (as defined in LSC Policy 4.4);\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003enot involve a vessel that is privately-owned either in full or in part by one or more LSC members;\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eand not involve multiple LSC vessels (e.g. flotilla-type events cannot qualify)\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022color: rgb(31, 73, 125);\u0022\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022font-size: 18px;\u0022\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022font-size: 20px;\u0022\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022color: rgb(31, 73, 125);\u0022\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022font-size: 18px;\u0022\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022font-size: 20px;\u0022\u003eHow to apply for potential future recourse to the LSC Muck-up Fund:\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSkippers who would like their trip to be considered for potential future recourse to the discretionary fund must email the Committee (\u003ca href=\u0022mailto:ahoy@londonsailing.club\u0022\u003eahoy@londonsailing.club\u003c/a\u003e) \u003cu\u003eat least 14 days prior to the start of the trip\u003c/u\u003e.

This decision, which is at the joint discretion of the Club’s three officers, will be confirmed to the skipper in writing at least 7 days prior to the start of the trip. Please note that, due to affordability constraints, only one boat can have possible recourse to the fund for any given trip date (e.g. one yacht per weekend); as such, where needed, the officers will prioritise potential future recourse to the discretionary fund on a first-come first-served basis.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAt the end of the trip, the skipper must confirm to the Committee (by emailing \u003ca href=\u0022mailto:ahoy@londonsailing.club\u0022\u003eahoy@londonsailing.club\u003c/a\u003e) whether any damage has occurred.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIn the event of damage, the skipper will be expected to settle all costs with the relevant charter company at the time.

The Club will subsequently require written evidence and or invoices from the relevant charter company before advancing any discretionary grant from the fund to the skipper. The fund will not contribute towards the first £200 of damage but may, at the discretion of the Club’s management committee, contribute up to £1,000 towards the cost of damage sustained beyond the initial £200 threshold.\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022font-size: 10px;\u0022\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022font-size: 12px;\u0022\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022font-size: 10px;\u0022\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022font-size: 12px;\u0022\u003e[vFINAL_231114.
