THE CLUB - The
Sailboat Club is designed for sailors who want the benefits of boat ownership
without the hassles. For less than the cost of slip rent, members of The
Sailboat Club enjoy sailing as often as they like without the bother of costly
and time-consuming maintenance. The Sailboat Club provides built-in "sailing
buddies", plans sailing trips, and offers sailing instruction.
CONTRACT - Club members sign a membership
agreement with a term from 1 to 36 months billable monthly. Members may choose
to continue sailing on a month-to-month basis after the completion of their
contract.
CHECKOUT - New members must pass
a checkout sail before they are allowed to take out a Club boat alone. Once
the checkout sail is completed, the member is given a key to the vessels.
BEFORE YOU ARE CHECKED OUT - New members
are encouraged and invited to go sailing with other members whenever possible.
This allows new members to become more familiar with the boats and prepare
for their checkout cruise.
COACHING - Once you have earned your
wings, you are 
expected to take along a new member from time to time sharing some tiller
time and demonstrating how to set up and put up the boat.
SCHEDULING - Once you have earned
your wings, you are welcome to go sailing almost any time. However, you MUST
call for a reservation. UNAUTHORIZED USE OF A BOAT IS GROUNDS FOR IMMEDIATE
EXPULSION FROM THE SAILBOAT CLUB. Scheduling is done on a first-come basis,
however, Club members are encouraged to be accommodating.
SAILING LIMITS - Each boat has limits
regarding sailing area and time of day. Within those limits, a float plan
is encouraged but not required. Beyond those limits, a plan (verbal or written)
must be submitted to the office.
SEA TOW - The Sailboat Club has a
commercial account with Sea Tow. At no cost to you, Sea Tow is on call 24/7
to assist in the event of a grounding, breakdown, etc.
