SLIP REGULATIONS
AUTHORITY OF THE PORT CAPTAIN
The Port Captain or his delegate
shall advise any Member, in writing, of any infraction of the following rules,
regulations or guidelines. Discrepancies
must be corrected within a reasonable amount of time unless they involve
safety, when they shall be corrected immediately. Discrepancies not corrected in compliance by the Member will be corrected by the
Club, and the Member will be charged for the work involved.
EVIDENCE OF OWNERSHIP OF YACHTS
It is the intended purpose of
these regulations to permit equitable progression on the waiting list of those
members awaiting wet or dry slip assignments
and to preclude members from entering into simulated joint ownership agreements
for the purpose of circumventing this equitable progression.
a. As a prerequisite and condition to the
occupancy of a wet or dry slip and the use thereof (other than uses covered in
paragraph 1 of the Slip Rules and Regulations), a Member shall file with the
Club office a copy of current registration, documentation or charter, and an
insurance policy for a minimum of $300,000 naming Coronado Yacht Club as an
additional insured. The Club Manager
shall maintain a file of all yachts berthed in a wet or dry slip at the Club
with required evidence of ownership.
Club Members must provide evidence of current registration or
documentation, on or before their renewal date. Upon 30 days written notice
from the Club office concerning proof of ownership, slip fees will be doubled
until such proof is provided.
b. A Member whose yacht
has been assigned a wet or dry slip must, as a condition for the continued use
thereof, notify the Port Captain in writing of any change in ownership or
charter arrangements of said yacht and file with the Club office a copy of the
new ownership or charter agreement, which must specifically state the names of
the owners and/or charterers and the percentage of ownership of each respective
owner or charterer. Attached to said
copy of the ownership or charter agreement shall be a sworn statement by the
Member certifying that the document is a true, current and complete copy of the
original ownership or charter agreement.
No oral agreement or understanding shall satisfy the terms and
provisions of this paragraph. A Member
who has been assigned a wet or dry slip who becomes less than a 50% owner or
charterer of the yacht occupying said assigned slip shall forfeit his or her
slip, shall vacate the same and his or her slip agreement shall be
deemed canceled and of no further force or effect.
c. For jointly owned or
jointly chartered yachts, the following will be strictly enforced:
1) Except for the
courtesy and transient berthing described in paragraph 1 of the Slip Rules and
Regulations, no boat will be berthed on Club property unless all owners or
charterers of the boat are members of the Club and one owner must be eligible
for the slip assignment.
2) No wet or dry slips
shall be assigned to or occupied by a Member who owns less than a 50% share in
the ownership of the yacht for which the slip is being sought or has been
assigned. A Member keeping his or her
yacht in a wet or dry slip assigned to him or her must be the owner of at least
a 50% share of said yacht and a Member who is a charterer must likewise have an
interest in said charter of at least 50% of the interests therein.
3) The owners of jointly owned or jointly chartered yachts
(except those yachts owned or chartered jointly by a Member and his or her
spouse/registered domestic partner) shall furnish the Club office with a copy
of their joint ownership or joint charter agreements as a condition precedent
to the yacht's occupying either a wet or dry slip. These joint agreements must specifically
state the percentage of ownership or charter participation of the respective
owners or charterers and shall have attached thereto a sworn statement by the
majority owner or charterer certifying that it is a true and complete copy of
the original instrument. No oral
agreement or understanding shall satisfy the terms and provisions of this
paragraph.

YACHT
STANDARDS AND
THE BOAT SURVEY COMMITTEE
The purpose of these Standards is to require all yachts kept at the
Club to be used regularly and maintained to an
appropriate standard, and to require that all necessary documentation be
provided. The Standards apply to all yachts,
vessels, boats and dinghies (hereafter referred to as “yachts”), which are
assigned to a wet or dry slip on the Club's leasehold. Yachts not meeting these standards shall lose
their privilege to remain at CYC.
1. Standards:
a. Each yacht and associated handling equipment shall be
maintained mechanically and aesthetically, in a condition which reflects the
Standards of the Coronado Yacht Club; that is, in a condition which the General
Membership would recognize to be within a range of quality worthy to fly the
Club burgee.
b. Each yacht shall be maintained in a seaworthy, operable
condition. Each yacht shall be cleaned
regularly and painted and varnished surfaces shall be maintained in good
condition. If the yacht is powered, the
engine must be operable and capable of producing sufficient way to make the
yacht maneuverable. Sailing yachts
without engines must be equipped with sails and all standing and running
rigging must be seaworthy. The CYC Board
shall be the sole judge of the seaworthiness, condition and maintenance of a
yacht and may inspect each yacht periodically to determine whether the yacht is
seaworthy and properly maintained.
Yachts and associated handling equipment must be operable at all
times.
c. Each yacht and associated handling
equipment, if required by law, shall be legally registered with the DMV and
display current DMV registration stickers and CF numbers, or possess current
U.S. Coast Guard Documentation papers and be correctly identified according to
USCG Regulations. A copy of the current
registration or documentation shall be filed at the Club office before slip
assignment and annually thereafter as soon as possible after each expiration
date. See Slip Regulations, Evidence of
Ownership. If a true copy of current Documentation or registration is not
provided within 30 days of the expiration date, written notice will be sent to
the member requiring immediate presentation of an acceptable copy of the
Documentation or registration and the member shall be assessed a penalty fee,
on a monthly basis from the date of expiration, in an amount equal to the
member’s monthly slip fee, until the required copy is provided. If the required
copy is not provided within 60 days of the date of the expiration of the Documentation
or registration,, the Board of Directors may, after considering the facts and
interviewing the member, determine that the member willfully violated Club
rules and withdraw the member’s slip privileges and terminate the member’s Slip
Agreement. A member who has had their
slip privileges withdrawn shall remove their yacht and surrender the slip
within 10 calendar days from the date the privileges are withdrawn.
d. Each yacht shall be maintained in a
condition that will comply with minimum U. S. Coast Guard safety requirements
and shall be maintained in an insurable condition. Members keeping yachts in
slips assigned to them at CYC shall have in effect liability insurance for the
protection of CYC and others with a minimum coverage limit of $300,000. The
cost of insurance shall be paid for by the member. Each member shall, before
locating his or her yacht at the slip and annually thereafter, file with the
Club office proof of liability insurance coverage showing CYC as an additional
insured. If such proof of liability insurance is not provided within 30 days of
the expiration date of a previous policy, written notice will be sent to the
member requiring immediate presentation of such proof of liability insurance
and the member shall be assessed a penalty fee, on a monthly basis from the
date of expiration, in an amount equal to the Member’s monthly slip fee, until
the required proof of liability insurance is provided. If the required proof of
liability insurance is not provided within 60 days of the date of the
expiration of the previous policy, the Board of Directors may, after
considering the facts and interviewing the Member, determine that the Member
willfully violated Club rules and withdraw the member’s slip privileges and
terminate the Member’s Slip Rental Agreement.
A Member who has had their slip privileges withdrawn shall remove their
yacht and surrender the slip within 10 calendar days from the date the
privileges are withdrawn. Members shall
provide written notice to CYC of any change in insurance carrier, insurance
agent or policy number, within 5 days of the occurrence of any such
change. Members will notify CYC
immediately if Member’s insurance is cancelled or terminated for any reason or
if Member’s coverage limit is reduced below the required level.
e. Each yacht shall always be safely and properly secured
to its slip in a manner acceptable CYC.
f. Each yacht assigned to and kept in a CYC wet slip or dry
slip shall be actively engaged in yachting, and be capable of getting underway
from its slip and performing the underway-yachting activities appropriate to
comparable yachts. Each Member keeping a
yacht in a slip assigned to them at CYC must demonstrate that the yacht is capable of
getting underway a minimum of one time each year, with the Member on board, by
traveling under its own power to Glorietta Bay buoy # 1 and back to its slip.
If the yacht is jointly owned, each joint owner must make the required trip a
minimum of one time. The one trip must be verified by one of the
following: Port Captain, General
Manager, Director of Facilities, or a member of either the Boat Survey
Committee or the Board of Directors. If a Member or joint owner does not
complete the required one trip annually prior to December 31st, the
Member and/or joint owner shall be notified by letter of failure to meet the
minimum underway requirement. If the
Member and/or joint owner has not satisfactorily met the previous year’s
underway requirement within 30 days of the date of the notice of failure to
meet the underway requirement, the Member and/or joint owner shall be assessed
a penalty, on a monthly basis from January 1st,
in an amount equal to the Member’s monthly slip fee, until the previous year’s
underway requirement is met. If the
previous year’s underway requirement is not met within 60 days of January 1,
the Board of Directors may, after considering the facts and interviewing the
Member, determine that the Member willfully violated Club rules and withdraw
the Member’s slip privileges and terminate the Member’s Slip Rental
Agreement. A Member who has had their
slip privileges withdrawn shall remove their yacht and surrender the slip
within 10 calendar days from the date the privileges are withdrawn.
g. Upon notification by the Boat Survey Committee that a
yacht assigned to and kept in a CYC wet or dry slip does not appear to be safe
and/or seaworthy the Board of Directors may require the Member to have the
yacht inspected by the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary and to pass the
inspection. The Board of Directors may
require that a yacht be removed from the CYC leasehold if, at its discretion,
the Board determines the yacht represents a potential serious hazard to
neighboring yachts and/or club property.
2. The
Boat Survey Committee will monitor compliance with the above standards and
report its findings to the CYC Board.
SLIP ASSIGNMENT GUIDELINES
CORONADO YACHT CLUB
1. The following guidelines may only be changed by a majority
vote of the General Membership present and voting at either the Annual or
Semi-Annual Coronado Yacht Club meetings.
2. Slip use policy, as
determined by the Board of Directors acting through the Port Captain as its
agent, shall be to effect the maximum utilization of slip space, enhance the
security of the docks, and encourage active participation in boating
activities.
3. REQUEST FOR A SLIP ASSIGNMENT:
a. Any
member not in Senior Flag or Absent Status may submit
a
request for a slip, different slip, or larger size slip, as appropriate. Such request must be in writing on the form
provided for that purpose. It will:
(1) Specify the type of boat (power or sail).
(2) Specify LOA, Beam and Draft.
(3) Be delivered to the Club office during
normal office hours.
(4) Incomplete forms cannot be accepted.
b.
Staff personnel will enter date and
time of receipt and forward request to the Port Captain who will:
(1) Acknowledge receipt by endorsement,
(2) Assign the Member a slip, if available, or:
(3) Enter the request on the appropriate list,
chronologically
by slip length, according to the
time and date of receipt
annotated by the office staff.
(4)
Return the original to the office for member's file.
4. Each member is allowed
one wet slip and one dry slip, if available.
The assigned wet slip and dry slip may not be used for the same
boat. If a member is assigned a dry slip
and later assigned a wet slip for the same boat, the dry slip must be
relinquished. If a Member is assigned
wet slip and later assigned a dry slip for the same boat, the wet slip must be
relinquished.
5. Determination of
required slip size will be confirmed by the Port Captain by measuring the
dimensions of the boat. The dimensions
of the boat will be determined by:
a. LOA which is the overall length of the
boat including
bowsprit,
bow anchor, boomkin, swim step, dinghy or davits, self steering gear, or any other normal
appurtenance in its normally installed position.
b. The
overall beam of the boat, to ensure that adequate beam
spacing is maintained in slips.
c. The
draft of the boat.
6. SLIP ASSIGNMENT:
a.
Upon assignment to a slip, a member
is required to sign a Slip Rental Agreement.
Upon occupancy of the slip, the member is required to establish proof of
ownership or charter agreement of the boat as outlined in the "Evidence of Ownership" section.
b. The
Port Captain will use the following formula as a guide in making slip
assignments. This formula, being only a
guide, may be departed from by the Port Captain as necessary to fit special
conditions.
Slip Length: +7% rounded to the nearest foot.
- 6% rounded to the next foot.
The following table is a
sampling of the application of this formula:
Slip Length Boat LOA Slip Length Boat
LOA
21’ up to 22’ 42’ 39’-45’
25’ 23’-27’ 45’ 42’-48’
30’ 28’-32’ 50’ 47’-54’
35’ 32’-37’ 55’ 52’-59’
36’ 33’-39’ 60’ 56’-64’
38’ 36’-41’ 65’ 60’-70’
40’ 37’-43’ 70’ 66’-75’
75’ 71’-80’
A
boat assigned to a slip according to the above guidelines is considered a
CONFORMING BOAT and the slip a CONFORMING SLIP.
c. Time
Allowed to Fill a Slip – After acceptance of a slip assignment, a temporary
Slip Rental Agreement will be issued until the Member’s conforming vessel
occupies the slip. If a slip is not occupied by the
Member's conforming vessel for a period of three months after acceptance of a
slip assignment, the Slip Rental Agreement may be terminated. The Board of
Directors may, in special circumstances, extend this time period (e.g.
cruising, offshore delivery or other delivery difficulties, extensive yard
repair.) The request for extension must be in writing and submitted to the
Board of Directors before the time expires.
d.
Cruising Status -“Cruising”
is defined as: Extended voyaging on one’s boat further than 500 miles from
Coronado Yacht Club and/or outside of the waters of the United States. A Member assigned a wet slip who wishes to
go cruising and vacate that slip for a minimum of six months may apply
for "cruising status". A
member in cruising status can be reviewed by the Board annually to insure
he/she still meets the definition of "cruising". There is
no restriction on the length of time beyond the six months that the vessel may be
away from CYC as long as it is “cruising” as defined above. There is no
restriction on the length of time beyond the six months that the vessel may be
away from CYC as long as it is “cruising” as defined above. During the slip
assignee's absence, wet slip fees will be reduced by 75%. A returning Flag
Member on cruising status will be returned to the formerly assigned
slip. A thirty day notice of departure
and return is required. (Temporary occupation of the vacated slip in
accordance with paragraphs 6. and 34. of SLIP RULES and REGULATIONS)
e. If
a Member sells or otherwise disposes of his/her boat, the boat must be removed
from the slip within 30 days of change of ownership. If the Member intends to replace the boat,
he/she may retain and leave the slip vacant for a period of up to three months
starting the day of change of ownership of the boat vacating the slip in
accordance with paragraph 6.c.
a.
In assigning slips the Port Captain will take security
considerations into account.
7. SLIP WAIT LIST: When wet slips are not available to fill all
requests, the Port Captain will maintain SLIP WAIT LISTS, Ready and Not Ready,
which will be displayed in the Clubhouse and posted on the CYC Website. These lists are available to all members
(except Senior Flag and Absent Members) who are waiting for an initial slip
assignment or who are assigned a slip but desire a larger slip.
Members may choose to be placed
on the Ready Wait List or the Not Ready Wait List:
Members may choose to be placed
on the Not Ready Wait List: placement on the Not Ready Wait List does not
require a fee or a declared slip size category selection. The Not Ready Wait List is priority ordered
by the Member’s current wait list sign-up date.
Members choosing the Ready Wait
List will be sequenced by their current wait list sign-up date within each slip
size category. When a slip becomes
available for assignment it will be offered to the Member with the oldest wait
list sign-up date in that slip size category starting with position one. A fee of $500 is required to sign up on the
READY Slip wait list. Upon assignment to a slip, this $500 fee is applied to
monthly slip rental fees.
If a slip is assigned and the
member fails to comply with Slip Rules 6. Slip Assignment, a, b, or c, the member
forfeits the $500 fee, is removed from the Slip Wait List and loses their slip
list sign up date. The forfeited $500 fee will be transferred into the Slip
Replacement Fund.
Movement between lists:
A Member may move from the Not
Ready Wait List to the Ready Wait List by paying a $500.00 fee and declaring a
slip size category. The $500.00 fee will
be applied to the Member’s slip rental fees upon assignment and acceptance of a
wet slip.
Upon request, transfers may take
place from the Ready Wait List to the Not Ready Wait Lists. However, to transfer from the Ready Wait List
to the Not Ready Wait List the Member loses the $500.00 fee previously paid to
be on the Ready Wait List and the Member is then “frozen” on the Not Ready Wait
List for one calendar year, however, the Member retains their current wait list
sign-up date. To transfer back from the
Not Ready Wait List to the Ready Wait List after the one calendar year
“freeze”, the Member pays another $500.00 but they can choose the same or
declare a new slip size category. The
Member will then be placed in their declared slip size category by the Member’s
current wait list sign-up date. In any
event, the transferring Member may never
be placed higher than position number 3 in any slip size category. The existing top 2 positions in each slip
size category are considered “safe”; even though a new transferee has an
earlier original wait list sign-up date in that slip size category.
Changing slip sizes from the Ready Wait List:
To change slip size categories
from the Ready Wait List, a Member must first move from the Ready Wait List to
the Not Ready Wait List. They will
forfeit their $500.00 fee. They will be
“frozen” on the Not Ready Wait List for one calendar year. After which time, the Member can then move
back to the Ready Wait List upon payment of a new $500.00 fee and they can then
declare their new slip size category desired. All assignments will be made in
writing and include date established.
When accepting a wet slip, guideline 6.c. applies.
8. BETTER SLIP LIST
The BETTER SLIP LIST will
include all members who request:
a. A
slip of the same size in a different location.
b. A slip as an Extended Cruising Status
returnee.
The
list will be sequenced by date of the request within slip size. Members requesting slips of the same size in
a different location may decline any offer without penalty. Extended Cruising Status returnees must
accept an appropriate size slip when offered, or their request shall revert to
the Slip Wait List, using the date his/her boat returned to the yacht club from
extended cruising. All assignments will
be made in writing and include date established.
9. PRIORITY OF ASSIGNMENT OF
SLIPS
Vacant slips will first be offered to Members on the
BETTER SLIP LIST by date within slip size category. Slips remaining will then be offered to
Members on the SLIP WAIT LIST by date within slip size category.
10. PURCHASE OF SMALLER YACHT
If
a Member has
occupied a slip with a conforming boat for a minimum period of one year, they
may replace the boat with a smaller,
non-conforming boat and must notify
the Port Captain immediately. They may
occupy their present slip until a permanent, non-temporary conforming slip
becomes available. The Member will be added to the Better Slip List for the
conforming size slip that is required, using the date his/her boat was
designated as a smaller yacht. A “conforming slip” and “conforming boat” are
defined in Section 6. Paragraph b. of the Slip Assignment Guidelines. They will then be moved to the new location
at the direction of the Port Captain
11.
VOLUNTARY SLIP RELINQUISHMENT
If a Member, having held a
slip for a minimum of three years, voluntarily relinquishes his/her slip
assignment, the member will be placed on the bottom of the Better Slip Waiting
List by date of relinquishment. The following conditions would apply:
a.
The Member must exercise the option to be assigned a new
slip from the Better Slip List within three years, and failure to do so will
cause the member to be placed at the bottom of the regular Slip Waiting List.
b. The
new slip assignment must be for the same sized slip.
c.
The Member must accept the first same sized slip
offered, and failure to do so will result in being placed at the bottom of the
regular Slip Waiting List.
d. In
order to exercise his/her option, the member must not have entered into any new
partnerships before being assigned a new slip under these guidelines.
