Boat Storage Rules and Conditions

The following rules shall apply to members storing boats at the Evans Bay Yacht and Motor Boat Club.

1. Spaces are allocated to a financial member of the club for the period 1 September each year to 31 August the following year.
2. The financial member (proof required), or his/her agent, must attend allocation day, and on that day pay for the right to rent a space.
3. Spaces will normally be re-allocated to the person who fits the criteria 1. or 2. above.
4. Spaces are not transferable. If you sell your boat the space does not go with it. If you sell your boat during the year and buy another, the space may continue to be used without further payment. However, the Park Controller must be advised.
5. You may not transfer the space to another member without the Park Controller's authority.
6. Always use your own space. If your space is parked in and the offender can be moved, do so. Do not just park in the next empty space as this only compounds the problem. Contact the Park Controller.
7. If you change your boat or its name during the season, advise the Park Controller. This is for your own protection as illegally stored boats will be removed.
8. Failure to comply with the above may mean that you will forfeit your park.
9. Boats may be parked only at the Park Controller's discretion.
10. The owner's name and phone number must be displayed along with the appropriate annual sticker to indicate payment has been made. That sticker is to be visible when the boat is parked.
11. As a general rule, boats that are used regularly will be allocated the most suitable parks.
12. On boats parked outside, all halyards must be secured away from the mast.
13. All boats are stored at the owners risk.
