at our club we have a cctv camera and regular checks from a security company and the lake warden as it is in the middle of an industrial estate which is very popular with motorcross riders and there used to be a travelers site by the club 2

I hope I'm not overstepping the boundary here and I'm very happy for Mark to delete this message if he thinks it's inappropriate.  But I can organise CCTV and other security systems, if you need it.

Perhaps the advantage (from our perspective) is that anyone seen taking down masts and loading them into a lorry looks suspicious and even with wire cutters its not a quick operation. However, put a yellow jacket on and a highway maintenance sign in the back of your van and no one is likely to ask questions if you start removing roadsigns.

I think we're rapidly approaching a time when CCTV survelliance of the dinghy park will be the norm (at least the cost of the technology is becoming affordable).

I saw that they steal anything that looks metal and then sort it out later on to be honest if you look at a dinghy park there are lots of good quality aluminium masts just sitting there !

THere was an article in The Times a couple of days ago, the price of alumimium has gone skywards in the last few months - road signs are being stolen, so It was only time before the scum targeted us. 

 

Good job my next boat will have carbon spars
