Boat Storage is at the discretion of the Management Committee. Boats in storage on the grounds must be on a trailer (with jockey wheel) that can easily be moved for whatever purpose as the need arises. Boats must be left in an orderly condition and with masts up and all halyards secured to eliminate wind noise and annoyance to neighbours.

• The annual boat storage fee is set by the Management Committee.
• Boat storage sites will be allocated only on acceptance and receipt of membership and storage fees.
