Is your boat at risk?

Only 2 of the above pictured boats storage places have been paid for!

Hopefully you are all enjoying a well earnt rest after a very busy sailing seasons. Like you, the SVYC staff are preparing the Club and its equipment for winter this involves packing away all of the Club owned Dinghies and RIBs. 

To ensure we dont waste your membership fees, we try hard to hang on to your money to spend on you, to that end we use the Club and the Club property (the Boat Park) to store as much equipment as possible rather than wasting money on renting external space, but this year we have found that the Boat Park has over 50 member owned dinghies parked in it. 

The Boat Park being used is lovely and we are all very happy about it being popular and used, apart from the fact that only 10 boats have paid to use it! This means that unless the unpaid boats are paid for, or removed, we will be forced to take matters into our own hands and remove the offending boats ourselves either using them to replace Club owned boats or destroying them. 

SVYC Boat Park terms and conditions of use say that there is a £50 per week charge for unpaid boats, but we are prepared to have an amnesty and either let you pay for the year or remove your boat by the 8th November 2024. Several of the boats have not moved for 2 complete seasons so we are assuming these are being donated to the Club, if not please speak up. If all members could pass this message on to their friends as we really are going to have to have a purge to make space for the winter storage requirements from 9th November and we don't want to upset anyone with our actions.
