Purpose

The goal of the Boatpool arrangement is promote sailing broadly among our members. The boats can be used for both leisure and regatta sailing. We also think that boat ownership in the future will be more based on sharing than owning.

Boatpool members have the opportunity to form racing teams on their own as well as to participate in organized training and regatta sailing. KNS aims to replace the boats in the Boatpool every 5 years. 

Members of the KNS Boatpool have the opportunity to represent KNS at regattas Internationally during the winter

How to join

Joining KNS Boatpool is easy. Contact lene@kns.no for J 70 / 80 and Dinghies.

You can join with your team (all team members must be member of KNS and have a Boatpool subscription), or you can join alone.

KNS will provide the contact information for other boatpool members so they can get in touch, find new teammates and plan training.

How it works

KNS Boatpool members must be registered before they can use the boats. Registration to the Boatpool requires an annual membership fee, KNS membership and basic sailing knowledge, for those who can sail, show good seamanship and maneuver safely and securely at sea, whatever the weather. The members of the boat pool have knowledge, experience and most have a boat driver's licence, which is a Norwegian certificate that everyone born after 01.01.1980 must have in order to helm a boat over 8 metres. The boat pool is not like a rental scheme, but for sailors who want to train and participate in regattas and be active in an environment. For the J 70 boats, it is a requirement that everyone on board must be KNS members and boat pool members. For the J 80 and Rs Quest boats, only the skipper must be a KNS member and a boat pool member.

A general introduction program is provided to new users after registration. Thereafter, users are given access to use the boats using KNS online booking system. A Boatpool Facebook group is established to promote exchange and discussions among Boatpool users.

Use the boats in regattas
The boats can be used in local regattas. To use the boat in regattas such as Grundig Sailing Cup, Grundig Hankø Race Week and Kongens Serieseilaser you just have to book the boat in the booking system.

It is also possible to use the boats in regattas outside of Oslo. Please contact Karl, karl@kns.no for more information.
