KNS boatpool

KNS has a fleet of five J 70, three J 80 boats, eight RS Zest boats, four RS Quest Boats and 10 windsurfer boards for adult that can be used by KNS members that have basic sailing skills. 

With our annual Boatpool membership fee boats can be booked for regatta sailing, training or leisure. Seasonal maintenance of the boats is included. The season is normally between April 1st and November 1st.

Our Boatpool members have access to more than just boats, they are a part of a sailors’ network where they also meet new crew members and friends.

Boatpool members under 35 years of age, can for an extra annual fee of NOK 500,- become a member in our J/70 League and Regatta Group and take part in their weekly practices and regattas. Regatta group

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 believe 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.

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

How to join
1. Joining KNS Boatpool is easy. Just register in the link under.
2. After you have registered send a e-mail til karl@kns.no for the J/70 and J/80 Boatpool, or to lene@kns.no for Dinghies and boards to schedule an introduction to the Boatpool.

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

In 2021 we had 7 sailors who joined the J/70 boatpool 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 boats or boards. Registration to the Boatpool requires an annual membership fee, KNS membership and basic sailing knowledge.

A general introduction program is provided to new users after registration. Thereafter, users are given access to use the boats and boards 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 J/70 and the J/80 can be used in local regattas. To use the J/70 boats in regattas such as Grundig Sailing Cup and Kongens Serieseilaser, or the J/80 in Færderseilasen 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.

The keelboats are located in our Marina at Dronningen in Huk Aveny 1. 

Dinghies and boards are located at KNS Seilsportsenter Ulabrand.
