PBYC - BOAT SLIP ASSIGNMENTS

  1. Boat Slip Assignments are indicated on the posted diagram.
  2. Slip Assignments or reassignments to best utilize the Club facilities are made by the Boats & Docks Committee, which has sole discretion in these matters.
  3. Assignments are made based on the Member’s numerical order on the assignment list (date of present slip assignment or date of listing); and a determination by the Boats & Docks Committee as to whether an available slip will accommodate the next boat on the list in accordance with the posted Boat Slip Rules.
  4. The Boats & Docks Committee will be guided by the following priorities in assigning slips:

A.) Member currently assigned a slip and requiring a larger or smaller slip.

B.) Members on the waiting list awaiting assignment for two or more years.

C.) Other Members on currently on the waiting list.

  1. Members having been assigned a slip the previous season shall have right of first refusal to be assigned the same slip for the following season, provided the same boat is to be accommodated. Such right of refusal shall be executed at the Annual Meeting and requires a $100 deposit by January 15th of the upcoming season.
  2. Members desiring to place their name on the list for a slip shall contact the Vice Commodore in writing (e-mail is acceptable) and indicate the type/length over all/beam/draft of the boat. Incomplete information will delay the listing.

PBCY - BOAT SLIP & DOCK RULES

  1. These rules are to prevent damage to Members’ boats and the Club property.
  2. Slips may be occupied from April 1st to December 1st. Water and electric will shut off November 1st.
  3. A boat will be moored in a slip only when there is a minimum of 12 inches clearance between the sides for bow/stern of the boat (and overhanging attachments) and the Club dock /or pilings when the opposite mooring lines are taut.
  4. If the length over all (LOA) of the boat exceeds length of the slip, spring lines shall be attached to limit the fore and aft movement of the boat in the slip. These lines shall be in addition to standard mooring lines, and shall be of at least equal size/strength/material. A minimum clearance of 12 inches when the lines are taut is required.
  5. Mooring lines shall be of suitable size and strength (diameter) for the size of the boat. Minimum size shall be one-half inch Manila or 3/8 inch synthetic (Nylon or Dacron). Polypropylene or “plastic” mooring lines are not permitted.
  6. Mooring lines shall be securely fastened to pilings with an appropriate hitch. Lines attached to free-standing pilings shall be attached at the lowest point possible to eliminate undue strain. Mooring lines shall not be fastened to rings, cleats, or other devices on the dock or pilings.
  7. Snubbing devices in the mooring lines to absorb shock and relieve strain under stress may be used; however, the minimum 12 inch clearance shall be required should such devices fail.
  8. Fastenings on the boats to which mooring lines are attached must be bolted through the deck or hull with a backing plate.
  9. Mooring lines shall be fitted with chafing gear to prevent wear against pilings, dock edges, and chocks on the boat.
  10. Mooring lines shall be rigged for “worst case” i.e. extreme tide, wind, swell, and storm. This will prevent loss of moorings when Members are not available for periodic (or constant) watching in storm conditions.
  11. The Bots & Dock Committee under the direction of the Vice Commodore, is empowered to take whatever action they deem necessary to eliminate a hazard to the dock, other boats, Club property, persons, etc. due to unsafe moorings, failed mooring fastenings, improper mooring, or neglect. The Boats & Docks Committee will attempt to contact the Member concerned before taking action.
  12. A Member temporarily vacating an assigned slip during the season shall obtain the permission of the Boats & Docks Committee before permitting another Member to use the slip. Intention to permanently vacate a slip shall be sent to the Boats & Docks Committee in writing.
  13. Water hoses shall be recoiled on their reels when Members are finished using the hose.

Exceptions to this rule must be presented to, and approved by, the Executive Board.
  1. All storage spaces must be cleaned up by members when boats are launched or moved.

PBYC - BEACH - BOAT STORAGE

  1. Fee for beach storage as of January 1, 2009 is $30 per boat. That includes all kayaks, dinghies, prams, canoes, sunfish, row boats, lasers, etc. stored on the beach. Boats used by Jr. Sailors in the Jr. Sailing program are excluded.
  1. All fees must be paid in full prior to bringing your boat to the beach.
  1. All boats stored on the beach must have a current numbered PBYC sticker affixed to the right rear portion of the boat. The numbered sticker and the owner’s name will be recorded for emergency calls.
  1. All racks will be numbered and the member’s boat sticker must correspond with the rack sticker. For example, a kayak with sticker #11 is to be placed on rack slot #11. This insures that we have documented records of who paid and who is the boat owner.
  1. Racks are available on a first come basis. All rack assignment changes must be recorded to insure that the Club maintains accurate records.
  1. No carpet is to be placed on rack trails. Only use vinyl, a 3 foot rubber hose, or a non water-absorbing product. Carpet retains moisture and causes the rack board to rot. All carpet type materials will be removed.
  1. All boats stored on the beach should be secured by a lock and cable system, as boats have been stolen from the beach in the past. Also for added safety, we advise members to tie down their small boats to prevent them from being blown away by the wind.
  1. The PBYC will assume Allboats stored on the beach or on racks without a current sticker are not owned by a member and therefore will be removed by the town and placed in the town storage yard.
  1. All kayaks, dinghies, prams, canoes, sunfish, row boats, lasers, and other such boats stored on the beach area must be removed from the beach by December 1st and can be returned after April 1st. This is a Pine Beach rule and also allows the Club the time to safely work on the beach to restore or replace defective storage racks.

There is no charge for a member to launch a boat on the ramp next to the Club. However, non-Club members may use this ramp only if they have a current Pine Beach boat launch sticker affixed to their trailer. Please adhere to these rules so that we can run a clean and well-maintained boat yard and beach.
