Keeping a boat at DBSC

Keeping a boat at DBSC

Membership does not guarantee boat parking space. Contact the membership secretery if you wish to keep your boat at the club: membership@dalgetybaysc.org

All members agree to and must comply with the Club Handbook (DBSC Club Handbook Nov 2021.docx - Google Drive ) which contains lots of useful information about keeping a boat at the club.

Some of the important rules are:

Inactive boats - The boat park and tender/outboard stores are not intended for storage of "inactive boats". Members with "inactive boats" may lose their space(s) in order to free up space for active members.

Definition of "inactive"

A boat will considered as "inactive" if none of the criteria below have been met.

In the past twelve months:

• the boat has been used on more than three occasions
• the boat has been offered for sale proactively
• significant maintenance has been conducted on the boat in order to make it fit for use or for sale

Boats are actively monitored - with dinghies by tying piece of (environmentally friendly) twine to the pintles. All that an owner needs to do is take the twine off when using the boat.

Keeping a keelboat at the club

You should review the handbook carefully, but some important points are:

Launching - keelboat owners need to have their own trailer for launching. The tractor is available for launching.

Moorings - members supply and maintain their own moorings. However members can only lay moorings with the agreement of the club. The club has a raft that is available to help the laying and maintenance of moorings.

This document has more detailed - and very important - information.

Commercial vessels are not allowed.
