Grossly negligent. Supplied a radio without battery. This became a VERY serious problem. We rented a Hobie Wave. We were sent out in medium-heavy breeze (18 knots). I am an experienced Hobie skipper which allowed us to hire the boat. Before departure i performed a radio-check. A part failure meant OUR BOATS MAST FAILED. The dismasting was NOT the club's fault. What was unforgivable was our supplied radio had no battery. We were left drifting toward the harbour heads without ability to make contact through radio. Only through the kindness of other vessels were we able to make contact to the base and be towed back. I cannot stress enough how dangerous it is to be drifting without a radio. Not everyone has the experience to manage such a situation. The club gave a full refund and recognised the fault was there own. That said, to be sent out without a working radio is simply unforgivable. I cannot stress enough how dangerous it is to be drifting in the harbour without a radio. We were at the mercy of the wind, tides and currents. Appalling. Genuinely apppaling. Boat failure - not the club's fault. Inability to radio back - entirely the club's fault.
