STORAGE(Top of Page)

 

1.     A portion of the Club grounds is set aside for the storage of boats and dinghies. This area will be referred in further rules as the dry sail area.

 

2.     Members and life members who would like a space in the dry sail area must be on the slip and dry sailing area waiting list. See SLIP AND DRY SAIL AREA ASSIGNMENTS below. Requests to be placed on the list must include the payment of an annual non refundable fifty dollar ($50.00) fee.

 

3.     Reservations for indoor and outdoor winter storage and indoor summer storage are by written application to the Dock and Yard committee. Priority will be given to the prior year’s occupant.

All dinghies and dry sail boats will be stored in assigned spaces only.

 

4.     Trailers not in assigned dry sail area spaces are limited to three (3) days on Club property. After the third day, owners will be charged the current temporary storage fee amount.

 

5.     All dinghies, boats, masts, trailers and dock boxes are required to have a legible MYC supplied sticker conspicuously displayed. All other personal property such as cradles, lifts, etc are required to have the owner's name permanently displayed. Violators of this rule will be assessed $50.00 and have their property stored at cost until payment is made.

 

6.     Mast storage. Members who store their boats for the winter at MYC may store their masts separately at no charge. Masts must be stored in the racks provided for mast storage. Members who do not store their boats may store their mast at the Club for $60.00. Summer storage of masts separate from boats is not allowed. Masts are not to be stored on the walkways at any time. Masts may be placed temporarily on the lawn two weeks before and one week after Launch and Haulout. Any masts found in an unauthorized area will be moved and the owner charged $110.00.

 

7.     Summer storage is considered from April 1st through December 1st, while winter storage is considered from Haulout to Launch.

 

8.     After December 1st and prior to April 1st, all boats and trailers will be subjected to the fees listed in the Club Handbook. Any exceptions must receive prior approval.

 

9.     Any member's personal property placed anywhere besides designated storage areas must receive approval of the Dock and Yard Committee. This includes items placed on, or attached to, the docks, boardwalks, Club buildings, or yards. Dock boxes and steps on the docks must be models approved by the Dock and Yard Committee.

 

10.  Winter boat storage is available for any boat that weighs less than 16,500 pounds.
