After the comments and questions below I have obtained clarification regarding the requirement for hosing down of visiting boats to Draycote Water.
The Severn Trent Policy is:
All visiting boats must be hosed down regardless of where they have come from and what certificates they have.
Hulls decks and rudders need to be washed
This may seem unreasonable to some of you but I'm afraid the policy is not negotiable and so we will just have to get on with it.
The hose down area will be in a different place from where I stated previously.
After you turn into the club off the A426 drive through the barrier and turn right as usual.
The hose down area is about 10 meters after the right turn and is on the right hand side.
Somebody will be there to assist you.
Please make sure your rudders are easily accessible!
Cheers
