Boat shed management protocol
Usage declaration
To provide convenient inexpensive storage for small craft with deliberate and intentional preference to frequent Midmar sailors.
A small craft would be defined as sailing vessels of size approximately equal to the laser, mirror or miracle.
The boatshed is not intended to be a passive storage facility for occasional or away sailors. The specific purpose is to encourage active sailor participation and youth development AT THE CLUB.
“Away” sailors who have access to road - trailers should make use of them.
Preference will be given to
- Active sailors
- Youth and active schools
- Sailors who base the majority of their activities at the club and therefore do not make use of road trailers.
- NO keelboat tenders shall be allowed.
- Wooden boats.
- But in all instances use is to enable more frequent “at home” sailing.
o Schools would preferably be asked to rack their boats as they are generally more able to have pupils stack them than individual members could.
o Rack frames will be designed and individuals may pad them according to needs.
o Space / rack rental will be charged at an annual rate determined and published with member fees and payable when club membership fees are due.
o No pro-rata rental period shall apply for shorter term.
o Any vessels stored and storage not paid for within 1 month of due date will be removed by cutting of locks and shall be placed outside at full risk to the owner.
o In the case of canoeists the same will apply.
o Members may make use of their own racks if agreeable, however they will still be liable PER vessel stored.
o STORAGE IS ENTIRELY AT OWNERS RISK
Charges will be levied PER CRAFT, whether it is a dinghy, canoe or sailboard irrespective of whether an individual racks multiple vessels on own equipment or not.
Own trailers with racks will be charged the equivalent to 4 craft if space available.
There shall be no distinction in the charge between vessel type.
