The information on this page is primarily intended to assist AMC leaders to plan and run sea kayaking trips. The contents focus on various documents that we have developed. Most of these documents are in one of two formats: Adobe PDF for various forms and guidelines that the Sea Kayaking group has developed and which are most useful in their original form and Microsoft Word for sample templates and the like that leaders may wish to adapt to their own purposes. If anyone requires a specific document in a different format, please contact me and I'll see what I can do.
