Q1: Who can use the Club Boats?
Only members who have purchased the Club Boat add-on may use the club boats. The Club Boat add-on is only available to the Full and Young Adult membership levels.
Q2: When are Club Boats not available?
Sail Training has first claim to club boats. This is:
1. Adult lessons: Typically weeknight during the month of June
2. Youth camps: 8-4 M-F in July, and possibly August
Sail Training usually uses the Lasers and/or the RS Quests, and rarely the Hobie Waves.
Q3: How long can I use a Club Boat for?
During high-demand times (warm weather, favourable wind) please limit your club boat session to 2 hours, if others are waiting to use that club boat.
Exception: If you use a club boat for club racing, then you can use it for the entire event.
Q4: When is club racing?
Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons for June to August, and on Sundays in September.
Q5: Which membership levels cover multiple people?
Only the Full membership level covers multiple people.
Q6: Can I invite a guest to the club?
A person can be a guest at the club up to three times per season. For more than three visits per season they would need their own membership.
Guests can accompany a member on a club-owned boat (if that member has the Club Boat add-on), but guests cannot sail club boats on their own.
Q7: Do you offer tours?
No but you can visit the club for a brief look around, at your own risk. No boating or swimming.
Please stay off the grass if the ground is soft or wet.
Q8: Why the Initiation Fee?
The initiation fee is like an investment into the club's current assets, which have been paid for by previous year's members. Every new member pays it.
Q9: Are pets permitted at the club?
No.
Q10: What is your refund policy?
No refunds.
Q11: Can members store their boats at the club over the winter?
No, we do not have winter storage for member-owned boats. Only club-owned boats may be stored at the club over the winter.
Member-owned boats must be removed by the fall closing, and cannot be brought to the club until the spring opening.
Q12: How do I access the club buildings?
Members get their own key, so you can come and go when you like. The key unlocks the main clubhouse doors, the sail room, the washrooms, and the padlocks on the sheds. Lock up if you're the only one at the club and you leave, either for home or out for a sail.
