Parties may choose between two methods of providing a deposit which is held in case damage to the craft or equipment occurs, or the craft is involved in an accident resulting in an insurance claim against the Project.

A cheque for £250 may be lodged with the Project which is fully refundable if no loss, damage or accident occurs.
