- 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.
