CYC SLIP REGULATIONS


AUTHORITY OF THE PORT CAPTAIN

The Port Captain or his delegate shall advise any Member, in writing, of any infraction of the following rules, regulations or guidelines. Discrepancies must be corrected within a reasonable amount of time unless they involve safety, when they shall be corrected immediately. Discrepancies not corrected in compliance by the Member will be corrected by the Club, and the Member will be charged for the work involved.


EVIDENCE OF OWNERSHIP OF YACHTS 

It is the intended purpose of these regulations to permit equitable progression on the waiting list of those members awaiting wet or dry slip assignments and to preclude members from entering into simulated joint ownership agreements for the purpose of circumventing this equitable progression.

     a. As a prerequisite and condition to the occupancy of a wet or dry slip and the use thereof (other than uses covered in  paragraph
         1 of the Slip Rules and Regulations), a Member shall file with the Club office a copy of current registration, documentation, or
         charter. The Club Manager shall maintain a file of all yachts berthed in a wet or dry slip at the Club with required evidence of
         ownership. Club Members must provide evidence of current registration or documentation, on or before their renewal date. Upon
         30 days written notice from the Club office concerning proof of ownership, slip fees will be doubled until such proof is provided.

     b. A Member whose yacht has been assigned a wet or dry slip must, as a condition for the continued use thereof, notify the Port
          Captain in writing of any change in ownership or charter arrangements of said yacht and file with the Club office a copy of the
          new ownership or charter agreement, which must specifically state the names of the owners and/or charterers and the
          percentage of ownership of each respective owner or charterer. Attached to said copy of the ownership or charter agreement
          shall be a sworn statement by the Member certifying that the document is a true, current and complete copy of the original
          ownership or charter agreement. No oral agreement or understanding shall satisfy the terms and provisions of this paragraph. A
          Member who has been assigned a wet or dry slip who becomes less than a 50% owner or charterer of the yacht occupying said
          assigned slip shall forfeit his or her slip, shall vacate the same and his or her slip agreement shall be deemed canceled and of
          no further force or effect. 

     c. For jointly owned or jointly chartered yachts, the following will be strictly enforced:

          1) Except for the courtesy and transient berthing described in paragraph 1 of the Slip Rules and Regulations, no boat will be
               berthed on Club property unless all owners or charterers of the boat are members of the Club and one owner must be eligible
               for the slip assignment.

          2) No wet or dry slips shall be assigned to or occupied by a Member who owns less than a 50% share in the ownership of the
               yacht for which the slip is being sought or has been assigned. A Member keeping his or her yacht in a wet or dry slip
               assigned to him or her must be the owner of at least a 50% share of said yacht and a Member who is a charterer must
               likewise have an interest in said charter of at least 50% of the interests therein.

          3) The owners of jointly owned or chartered yachts (except those yachts owned or chartered jointly by a Member and his or her
               spouse/registered domestic partner) shall furnish the Club office with a copy of their joint ownership or joint charter
               agreements as a condition precedent to the yacht's occupying either a wet or dry slip. These joint agreements must
               specifically state the percentage of ownership or charter participation of the respective owners or charterers and shall have|
               attached thereto a sworn statement by the majority owner or charterer certifying that it is a true and complete copy of the
               original instrument. No oral agreement or understanding shall satisfy the terms and provisions of this paragraph. 

     d. Any joint ownership or joint charter shall be reviewed by the Board of Directors to insure compliance with the spirit and intent of
          the above regulations before slip assignments will be made.

     e. It shall be prima facie evidence of conduct injurious to the Club for a Member who has been assigned a wet or dry slip, to utilize
         such slip contrary to the provisions and intent of these Slip Regulations or contrary to the terms of any Slip Rental Agreement
         entered into. Such conduct may be cause for loss of membership.


SLIP RULES AND REGULATIONS 

1. Courtesy berthing may be granted to yachts belonging to members of recognized yacht clubs and guests of the Coronado Yacht Club holding guest cards when dock space is available. Visiting yachts that wish to occupy a slip must first show proof of insurance on the yacht. Such free courtesy berthing will normally be for a period of three days per visit for a total of no more than nine days per calendar year. After three days, rates listed in paragraph 31.a. shall apply. Berthing for these guest yachts will normally be limited to ten days per visit and a total of twenty days in any calendar year. Members of the Coronado Yacht Club in absent status who bring boats into the Club shall be considered as members of another recognized yacht club regarding berthing privileges and slip rental fees. The Board of Directors may make specific exceptions to this general policy as needed to conform to reciprocal privileges established with other yacht clubs.

2. The front float known as the "turning basin/guest dock", shall be for the temporary berthing of visiting yachts and for the embarking and disembarking of passengers. During scheduled regattas and other scheduled events the Port Captain may allow those boats directly involved with the event to tie up at the turning basin/guest dock.

3. The use of the Dinghy Dock is limited to vessels less than 14 feet LOA and the length of continuous stay is limited to less than 24 hours.

4. Only approved dock boxes may be used in dry slips for boat equipment storage. Contact the office staff for a list of approved equipment.

The following shall be the Board of Directors policy of the Coronado Yacht Club concerning dock boxes in use upon the wet slips on the CYC property.

* Effective December 1, 2004, only solid fiberglass dock boxes capable of containing any fluid, or powder spill, shall be approved for use at CYC. Damaged or deteriorated fiberglass; wood, plastic, or fiberglass/wood combination boxes are not approved for use upon CYC docks and shall be removed by the member, within one (1) month upon notification from the Board of Directors or the Club Manager. If the box is not removed in a timely manner the Board of Directors shall have the non-compliant dock box removed from CYC property. Members wishing to petition the Board requesting to keep an existing dock box may do so provided it is fully fiber glassed inside and meets the aesthetic and containment requirements. The petitioning member shall obtain written consent from the Port Captain or Boat Survey Chairman attesting that the dock box meets the CYC requirements.
* Approved dock boxes may be fastened to the dock, however a proper bedding compound shall be used and the installation must be inspected and approved by the Facilities Director, Port Captain, or Boat Survey Chairman.
* Members bringing a new dock box onto a wet slip at CYC after December 1, 2004, shall chose from one of two approved designs from Innovation Fiberglass Products, Inc. (Part # C-1 and Part # C-4). Members may petition the Board of Directors for a variation to the approved design if said variation meets all other requirements.
* Each slip shall be limited to one (1) approved fiberglass dock box placed as directed by the Director of Facilities. Members wishing to add an additional approved dock box may petition the Board of Directors. Petitioning member shall obtain written notification by the Port Captain or Boat Survey Chairman attesting to space being available without infringing upon safety requirements or neighboring boats. 

5. The Board of Directors may limit the uses of a slip if it determines that such action is required by safety concerns or other issues injurious to the Club.

6. A Member who removes their yacht from the Club premises for a period of more than 24 hours shall notify the Club office in writing by completing the forms provided for that purpose. Any wet or dry slip temporarily vacant may be reassigned by the Port Captain for the duration of the vacancy. A member who is not assigned a slip and brings a yacht onto the premises shall contact the office or security, if after office hours, as soon as possible.

7. Subleasing of a wet or dry slip is prohibited.

8. An owner who installs a boat bath in his or her slip must remove it or collapse it against the slip side so that the slip can be used by another boat when the slip will be vacant for more than three days.

Requests to change wet or dry slips must be to the Port Captain, in writing and delivered to the Club office. The Port Captain will consider such requests according to the dates of application. 

10. When a Member severs his or her connection with the Club for any reason he or she shall immediately remove their boat from Club property. Following the death of a Member who leaves no spouse/registered domestic partner or whose surviving spouse does not remain an active Member of the Club, whoever has control of the decedent's boat shall remove it from the club within thirty days of the Member's death. If a surviving spouse/registered domestic partner retains Club membership and is or becomes owner of the decedent's boat, no change in slip assignment will be made.

11. Rafting of boats to other boats attached to CYC slips is prohibited except on race or regatta days or during special events and only with the approval of the Port Captain.

YACHT STANDARDS AND THE BOAT SURVEY COMMITTEE

The purpose of these Standards is to help achieve Article 2 (Object) of the Club Constitution by requiring all yachts kept at the Club to be used regularly and maintained to an appropriate standard. The Standards apply to all yachts (or boats), which are either applying for, or currently assigned to a wet or dry slip on the Club's property or water rights.

1. Standards: The following standards shall be required of all yachts, boats and associated handling equipment occupying space at the Coronado Yacht Club:

     a. The yacht shall be maintained mechanically and aesthetically, in a condition which reflects the Standards of the Coronado Yacht
          Club; that is, in a condition which the General Membership would recognize to be within a range of quality worthy to fly our
          burgee. Modification or maintenance performed while in the slip shall be limited and conducted in accordance with sound
          environmental practices concerning sanding dust, safe cleaning and painting and spill avoidance.

     b. Each boat, boat trailer, and other associated handling equipment shall be maintained mechanically and esthetically in a
         condition reflective of the Standards applied to yachts in paragraph 1(a) and shall meet any DMV requirements for registration.

     c. The yacht, if required by law, shall be legally registered with the DMV and display current DMV registration stickers and CF
          numbers, or possess current U.S. Coast Guard documentation papers and be correctly identified according to USCG
          Regulations. A copy of the current registration or documentation shall be filed at the office on or before its renewal date. See Slip
          Regulations, Evidence of Ownership.

     d. The yacht shall be maintained in a condition that will comply with minimum Coast Guard safety requirements and shall be
          maintained in an insurable condition. Proof of insurance with a minimum limit of $300,000 liability coverage must be provided
          annually on or before the policy renewal date. Upon 30 days written notice from the Cub office concerning proof of insurance, slip
           fees will be doubled until such proof is provided.

      e. The yacht shall always be secured in a seamanlike manner. The owner must not become dependent on Yacht Club employees
           or other Members for the safety and security of their boat.

      f. The yacht shall be actively engaged in yachting. The Board of Directors, upon receipt of a report by the Boat Survey Committee
          of non-use, may summon the owner before the Board to show cause why the yacht should not be ordered removed from the
          Club.

     g. A yacht occupying a CYC wet slip or dry slip shall be capable of getting underway from its slip and performing the
          underway-yachting activities appropriated to comparable yachts. Upon noting that a vessel appears not capable of getting
          underway, or appears not to have been underway within a calendar year, in the manner the vessel was designed, the Boat
          Survey Committee shall notify the Board of Directors.

          The Board of Directors shall request the owner to demonstrate compliance by getting underway in the manner the vessel was
          designed, and proceeding to the San Diego/Coronado Bridge and back, and submitting to a Coast Guard Auxiliary safety
          inspection if requested. The Board may require additional compliance requirement as its discretion. Such requirements shall be
          conducted in as unobtrusive a manner as possible, and shall be reported to the Board.

2. The Boat Survey Committee is expected to monitor compliance with the above standards. The Committee shall make regular reports to the Board on its activities, compliance requirements imposed, and problems encountered. The Board of Directors shall, upon receipt of report by the Boat Survey Committee of a yacht’s non use, mechanical or aesthetic neglect, summon the owner before the Board to show cause why the yacht should not be ordered removed from the Club. 



SLIP ASSIGNMENT GUIDELINES CORONADO YACHT CLUB

1. The following guidelines may only be changed by a majority vote of the General Membership present and voting at either the Annual or Semi-Annual Coronado Yacht Club meetings. 

2. Slip use policy, as determined by the Board of Directors acting through the Port Captain as its agent, shall be to effect the maximum utilization of slip space, enhance the security of the docks, and encourage active participation in boating activities.

3. REQUEST FOR A SLIP ASSIGNMENT:

     a. Any member not in Senior Flag or Absent Status may submit a request for a slip, different slip, or larger size slip, as appropriate.
         Such request must be in writing on the form provided for that purpose. It will:
          (1) Specify the type of boat (power or sail).
          (2) Specify LOA, Beam and Draft.
          (3) Be delivered to the Club office during normal office hours.
          (4) Incomplete forms cannot be accepted.

     b. Staff personnel will enter date and time of receipt and forward request to the Port Captain who will:
          (1) Acknowledge receipt by endorsement,
          (2) Assign the member a slip, if available, or:
          (3) Enter the request on the appropriate list, chronologically by slip length, according to the time and date of receipt annotated by
                the office staff.
          (4) Return the original to the office for member's file.

4. Each member is allowed one wet slip and one dry slip, if available. The assigned wet slip and dry slip may not be used for the same boat. If a member is assigned a dry slip and later assigned a wet slip for the same boat, the dry slip must be relinquished. If a member is assigned wet slip and later assigned a dry slip for the same boat, the wet slip must be relinquished. 

5. Determination of required slip size will be confirmed by the Port Captain by measuring the dimensions of the boat. The dimensions of the boat will be determined by:

     a. LOA which is the overall length of the boat including bowsprit, bow anchor, boomkin, swim step, dinghy or davits, self steering
         gear, or any other normal appurtenance in its normally installed position.
     b. The overall beam of the boat, to ensure that adequate beam spacing is maintained in slips.
     c. The draft of the boat.

6. SLIP ASSIGNMENT:

     a. Upon assignment to a slip, a member is required to sign a Slip Rental Agreement. Upon occupancy of the slip, the member is
          required to establish proof of ownership or charter agreement of the boat as outlined in the "Evidence of Ownership" section.

     b. The Port Captain will use the following formula as a guide in making slip assignments. This formula, being only a guide, may be departed from by the Port Captain as necessary to fit special conditions.

Slip Length: +7% rounded to the nearest foot.
- 6% rounded to the next foot.
The following table is a sampling of the application of this formula:

Slip Length  Boat LOA Slip Length Boat LOA
21’ up to 22’ 42’ 39’-45’
25’ 23’-27’ 45’ 42’-48’
30’ 28’-32’ 50’ 47’-54’
35’ 32’-37’ 55’ 52’-59’
36’  33’-39’ 60’ 56’-64’
38’ 36’-41’ 65’ 60’-70’
40’ 37’-43’ 70’ 66’-75’
75’ 71’-80’

A boat assigned to a slip according to the above guidelines is considered a CONFORMING BOAT and the slip a CONFORMING SLIP.

     c. If a slip is not occupied by the Member's conforming boat for a period of six months after acceptance of a slip assignment, or for
         any other consecutive six-month period, the Slip Rental Agreement may be terminated. The Board of Directors may, in special
         circumstances, extend this time period. (e.g. Extended Cruising, offshore delivery, or extensive yard repair.) The request for
         extension must be in writing and submitted to the Board of Directors before the time expires.

     d. A Member who departs the Southern California area to cruise for a time period of less than one year may retain his/her slip by
          filing a cruise/float plan and paying all fees. If the Member plans to cruise longer than one year he/she must relinquish his/her slip
          and may apply in writing to the Board of Directors for Extended Cruising Status. The Member granted Extended Cruising Status
          must maintain his/her active FLAG membership. 

          A returning FLAG Member with Extended Cruising Status will be provided temporary slip accommodations, if available, at the
          prevailing rate. The Member will be added to the Better Slip List for the same size slip that was relinquished, using the date
           his/her boat returned to the yacht club from extended cruising. 

     e. If a Member sells or otherwise disposes of his/her boat, the boat must be removed from the slip within 30 days of change of
          ownership. If the Member intends to replace the boat, he/she may retain and leave the slip vacant for a period of up to six months
          starting the day of change of ownership of the boat vacating the slip in accordance with paragraph 6.c.

     f. In assigning slips the Port Captain will take security considerations into account.

7. SLIP WAIT LIST: When slips are not available to fill all requests, the Port Captain will maintain a SLIP WAIT LIST, which will be displayed in the Clubhouse. This list is available to all members, (except Senior Flag and Absent members) and members who are assigned slips but desire a larger slip. The SLIP WAIT LIST will be sequenced by date of request within slip size. When a slip becomes available for assignment it will be offered to the Member with the oldest date of request in that slip size category. If the Member refuses the offer, his/her name will be removed from the list. Changes made to the original request will be entered using the new date for priority status. All assignments will be made in writing and include date established. When accepting a slip, guideline 6.c. applies.


8. BETTER SLIP LIST

The BETTER SLIP LIST will include all members who request:
     a. A slip of the same size in a different location.

     b. A slip as an Extended Cruising Status returnee.

The list will be sequenced by date of the request within slip size. Members requesting slips of the same size in a different location may decline any offer without penalty. Extended Cruising Status returnees must accept an appropriate size slip when offered, or their request shall revert to the Slip Wait List, using the date his/her boat returned to the yacht club from extended cruising. All assignments will be made in writing and include date established.

9. PRIORITY OF ASSIGNMENT OF SLIPS

Vacant slips will first be offered to members on the BETTER SLIP LIST by date within slip size category. Slips remaining will then be offered to members on the SLIP WAIT LIST by date within slip size category. 

10. PURCHASE OF SMALLER YACHT

If a Member replaces the yacht in his/her currently or newly assigned slip with a smaller, non-conforming vessel, they must notify the Port Captain immediately. They may occupy their present slip until a permanent, non-temporary conforming slip becomes available. The Member will be added to the Better Slip List for the conforming size slip that is required, using the date his/her boat was designated as a smaller yacht. A “conforming slip” and “conforming boat” are defined in Section 6. Paragraph b. of the Slip Assignment Guidelines. They will then be moved to the new location at the direction of the Port Captain.
