Ground Space and Boat Storage Guidelines
The Grounds and Boat storage is the responsibility of the Rear Commodore
- Hollyburn Sailing Club encourages the sports of sailing and kayaking, and pursues a policy of active boat usage.
- Inactive boats may not be stored on the club premises and members will be asked by the Executive to remove them.
- Every effort will be made to accommodate new members’ boats.
- Each boat must be stored in its assigned place.
- Each space is allocated to the club member and not to the boat. Accordingly, the space can not be transferred with the boat if the boat is sold.
- A storage space wait-list – open to members only – is kept by the Rear Commodore.
- Membership fees permit the use of the club ramp even if the boat is not stored at the club.
- All boats, other than rack-stored, are required to have their own launching dolly. No road trailers are allowed on the premises as storage trailers.
- All boats must be set so that they drain to prevent water logging, and to facilitate moving them.
- All kayaks, canoes, and sailboards must be securely tied to their racks.
- Chains and locks for kayaks and canoes are mandatory.
- As the club is located in Ambleside Park, and accordingly the club must maintain an appropriate image. Club members must maintain their boats in a clean and acceptable condition – torn tarps and other worn-out equipment must be removed to ensure that the grounds are always neat and tidy.
- When members' boats are on the water, their launch dolly must be parked in their own storage spot to reduce congestion in the central yard area above the ramp.
- To reduce congestion in the central yard area above the ramp, members are expected to rig, wash and de-rig their boats near their own storage spaces. There are three long water hoses provided in the yard to facilitate this.
- All HSC sailboats, row boats, and kayaks are expected out on the water at the Annual Sailpast for the Commodore’s Salute.
