Next step in keeping track of club gear is to keep track of boat condition. Assessment of condition is very subjective, here's a suggested scoring system out of 10. Broken/welded boats get zero. Obviously subject to change/input pointing out things I've left out. Idea is that during the annual boathouse clean out the gear would be assessed and new boats bought as required. Eg, if all the creekers score very low we get some new ones. Hopefully this will also add structure to decisions on buying second hand boats for the club ( or justifying a decision not to). Also perhaps a threshold of disposal could be established.
