WASHINGTON YACHT AND COUNTRY CLUB
RULES FOR USE OF YACHTING FACILITIES
(Copied from the Bylaws of WYCC, Rules and Regulations Section)
1. The full enjoyment of the yachting facilities depends upon courtesy and respect to other yachters. Yachters are responsible for the conduct of their guests.
2. With respect to use of Club facilities by such guests, the general guest rules of the Club are applicable.
3. Restrooms and showers in the bath house are available for the convenience of yachters at all times. Yachters are requested to see that these facilities are relocked after use and to assist in keeping these facilities in shipshape condition.
4. Members are urged to observe “no wake” in general area of yachting facilities. Remember, you are legally responsible for any damages as a result of your wake.
5. Main docks, boathouses, and finger piers are shared by yachters. Each yachter has a responsibility to see that these areas are kept clean and clear of extraneous material for safety and neat appearance.
6. No charcoal fires or other open fires are allowed on docks.
7. Members are requested not to idle boat engines at dock or in boathouses for more than 15 minutes. The resulting noise and fumes could be annoying to other boaters.
8. No one is allowed on the docks after 10:00 p.m. except boat owners and guests.
9. No swimming is allowed from gas dock. Swimming from other docks is discouraged because of danger to swimmers and to boats in the area of the yachting facilities.
10. Boat slips are available on a priority basis to Club members owning boats. Slip assignments are to members, not to boats; therefore, when a member relinquishes a slip, it reverts to the Club, not to a new owner of the boat that has occupied the slip. Club members wishing to rent a slip may make application. Priority for available slips will be assigned according to member’s date of application. When a slip becomes vacant, first priority for that slip will be given to a member who already has an assigned slip, provided the top person on the waiting list can use the old slip to be vacated by the member having higher priority. Slip assignments are made by the Yachting Committee through the Dockmaster.
11. The person in number one position of the priority list will be advised when a slip is available. That person, in conjunction with the Yachting Committee, will determine if the boat fits the slip. If the applicant declines the slip the committee determines is suitable for the boat, then the applicant’s name will be removed from the priority number one position and placed at the bottom of the priority list.
12. A slip holder who disposes of a boat will be allowed to hold the slip for a maximum of 90 days. In order to retain the slip beyond that period, the holder must present valid proof that another boat is anticipated by presenting to the committee either a building contract or a sales slip for such boat.
13. Subletting of any slip is strictly forbidden. A boat owner is not allowed to let any boat other than his own occupy his slip. The Yachting Committee, with the renter’s permission, has the authority to assign, on a temporary basis, any slip which is vacated temporarily by the renter, but such temporary assignment shall not relieve the owner’s responsibility for the payment of rent. The Club shall also charge the assignee rent for the use of said slip.
14. Each slip will be controlled by a minimum footage length and beam regulation and, regardless of position on the priority list, each applicant will be controlled by this regulation.
15. Slips are rented to members on a monthly basis at rates established from time to time by the Yachting Committee and approved by the Board of Directors.
16. Guests of members are welcome to tie up their boats at Club yacht facilities for visits provided prior arrangements are made with the Dockmaster. Daily rates for transient boat guests are established by the Yachting Committee and approved by the Board of Directors.
17. The Club offers a small boat launching ramp for the use of members and guests. There is no charge for the use of the ramp for members. A small launching fee is charged for guests. Please contact the Dockmaster when you have a guest who wishes to use launching facilities.
18. Small boats and trailers may be left by members in assigned areas at a nominal monthly rate established by the Yachting Committee and approved by the Boar of Directors. Members must contact the Dockmaster for space assignment.
19. Members are responsible for cleaning up after their pets and for the actions of their pets.
20. Complaints concerning violations of yachting rules or discourtesies or disturbances should be made to the Yachting Committee either directly or through the Dockmaster.
