Frequently Asked Questions

Question

I am selling a boat stored in the yard or a mooring in the Club patch.  What should I do?

Answer

Contact the Club Secretary to inform them.  They keep a record and sometimes a waiting list is in operation.  See the mooring page for further information.

Question

Can I keep my boat in the yard?.

Answer

If you are a Sailing Member of The Club you may apply to the Club Secretary to store your boat/trailer in the yard providing that it is not more than 8.5 meters in length.  The Club has space for about 30 dinghies, boats and, trailers in total.  When full the Club Secretary operates a waiting list.

Question

If I buy a boat/trailer that is already in the yard can I continue to keep it there?

Answer

Possibly.  Firstly you MUST be a sailing member of The Club.  It will also depend on whether or not there is a waiting list.  Be sure to contact the Club Secretary to check if you can.

Question

Is there a cost to keeping a boat/trailer in the yard?

Answer

Yes.  The costs are based on the size.  There is an increasing sliding scale based on how long the boat/trailer has been in the yard unused.  This is intended to be punitive to get people to remove boats/trailers that are no longer actively used as we want the space for members who are actively sailing boats.  When you store a boat/trailer in the yard you agree to these fees.

Question

I would like a mooring for my boat.  What do I do?

Answer

The Club has an allocated area where members can have moorings. Check out the moorings page to understand how this works.

Question

I want to learn to sail?

Answer

For children and young people there is cadet training that happens on Thursday evenings during the sailing season.  It is very popular and there is often a waiting list.  Check out the cadet page for more information.
