Boat
Parking and Storage
Due to a
growing demand for the use of the Club's hard standing areas
your committee are having to introduce some regulation to the
issue, these briefly are: -
Trailer
Identification:
To assist the committee in identifying trailers and launching
trolleys (including dinghies and tenders) please have your boat
name clearly marked on them.
Summer
Trailer Parking:
Cruiser owners should ensure that all trailers are removed from
the pier head to the rear of the Yacht Club and parked in a
tidy and considerate manner for the duration of the sailing
season.
Trailer-Day-Sailors
& Motorboats without permanent parking on the pier head
should store their trailers neatly on the hard standing behind
the small car park whilst the boats are in use.
Craning
Out and Winter Boat Parking:
Applications must be made in writing to the club secretary for
08/09 boat craning and winter boat parking regardless of whether
or not you already use this facility - consideration will be
given to existing users.
Application
forms will be sent by email or postage to existing users in
good time and will be available on the download page of the
club web site. Payment will continue to be made with membership
renewal - in arrears.
The committee
will allocate the winter parking to make best use of the hard
standing areas. Please note that once laid-up for the winter
you may be blocked in by other boats.
Third
Party Insurance:
Owners who intend to park their boats on any club premises are
required to provide their up to date insurance for inspection,
prior to winter parking.
A copy will
be retained for our records by the club secretary.
A minimum
of three million pounds third party insurance is required. (This
is normally the standard third party cover on small boat/marine
insurances).

resist but have been unable to do so. Learn more on the RYA
Site within their News and Events page.
