Boat purchase finance scheme

The BDA offers a finance scheme to help affiliated clubs spread the cost of purchasing new dragon boats.

Subject to approval and funds being available, the BDA can provide an interest-free loan of up to 75% of the purchase price, with the club paying at least 25% upfront. The balance can then be repaid to the BDA over a maximum of three years.

The club orders the boat directly from the supplier and pays its contribution to the BDA. The BDA then pays the supplier’s invoice, with the outstanding amount forming the loan to the club.

The scheme is available to any BDA-affiliated club. For more information, email info@thebda.org.uk.
