Boat Parking Changes

Posted: Friday, 09 January, 2015

In response to member feedback regarding boat movement during events, and as part of a general review of the utilisation of the beach and West Quay with respect to the parking of boats and trailers, some changes to the current boat parking arrangements are planned from next season. Broadly the current class allocations will remain the same, however a small number of boats will be moved from current positions in order to:

* provide some space for the temporary parking of WYC boats required to move when the club is host to major events

* create an area for cadet boat storage nearer the club house

* ensure that where practical the most regular sailors, racing and casual, are located nearest to the launch/retrieval areas

* generally tidy the beach and West Quay

* ensure only paid up kit is occupying our valuable storage space



The main changes on the beach will be the area in front of the refreshment hut where positions towards the seaward end of the beach will be allocated for temporary parking during events. Most of the boats currently at the seaward end will remain within the same part of the beach but some boats not regularly used will be moved to other areas within their class. Boats regularly used by cadets will be allocated space on the beach are in front of the club. The beach area towards Reeves will also be tidied to try and keep classes together. The owners of any boats moved will be advised by their respective Class Captain.



Details of the planned changes can be obtained from the Beachmaster or Class Captains and we will be aiming to complete the moves in February, weather conditions permitting. The Sailing Committee will be asking for volunteers to help with the activity as the details are finalised and activity dates are confirmed so if you can help please do come along.



Finally, a reminder to ensure any due membership subscriptions for next year are paid as any unregistered kit will be moved.
