Equipment

Keep your boats and oars inventory up to date, track condition, manage issue reports and block boats during maintenance.

The Equipment feature is your digital boathouse: every boat, oar, blade and cox-box in one inventory, with its condition, any reported faults, and whether it's available to use. You'll need to be an Admin, or have a role with Manage equipment, to add or edit items.

Equipment is an optional feature. If you don't see it, an Admin can switch it on in Club setup.

Build your inventory

Go to Manage → Equipment and choose Add item. Record what it is (boat, oar, cox-box), its name or hull number, and details like crew size and rigging where relevant.

Set its current condition so members and coaches know what they're booking onto.

Repeat for your fleet. Once items are in the inventory they're available to crews and show up when building lineups.

Condition and issues

Anyone who uses a boat can report an issue - a knocked-off fin, a stuck gate, a cracked blade. Reports flow to whoever manages equipment.

A member reports an issue against a specific item, describing the fault.
You review it and decide what to do - log it for later, action it, or mark it resolved.
The item's condition reflects open issues, so crews can see at a glance what's seaworthy.

Maintenance windows

When a boat is being repaired or serviced, set a maintenance window to take it out of action for that period.

A boat in a maintenance window is blocked from use - it can't be added to lineups or booked until the window ends. Use this to stop a damaged or out-for-repair boat going out by mistake.

Open the item and add a maintenance window with start and end dates.
The boat is unavailable for that range and shown as under maintenance.
When the work's done, end the window early or let it expire to return the boat to service.
