Clubhouse Closure Update

The clubhouse will be closed as of Monday November  23rd, with the exception of upstairs washrooms which will be accessible until the end of December. Please be advised the washrooms are not being professionally cleaned during this time. Use hand sanitizer and wipe down any surfaces you touch to protect yourself and fellow club members. Please follow public health guidelines and stay home if you are unwell.

Winter Preparation

Dear GYC Members

There are still a number of dock skirts down, ladders in the water etc. Please make sure you get your dock prepared for winter, and unplug your power cords.

As per our By-Laws

R17.  Fender Skirts must be lifted or adjusted to one foot or higher above the water by the Third Wednesday of November.

R45.  All boats must be unplugged by the Third Wednesday of November or the cord tagged with the date while charging (48 hours maximum per charge).

GYC Haul Out Details

Dear GYC Members, 

We need to comply with Provincial guidelines for Covid-19 during this haul out season. We need to practise physical distancing when possible, and masks must be worn if you are unable to adhere to physical distancing. 

There will be no lunch offered. Please bring your own coffee/beverage and lunch.  

We are going to have 5 work crews to haul the boats out. 1 crew on Friday and 4 crews on Saturday. Each crew is made up of 8 members, and if something changes please let me know. The crane operator said with a set crew doing a shift, things move much more smoothly and more safely, so we are now using this system.  There is a Haul Out Crew List attached. 

There is also a Haul Out Details document attached indicating how to get your boat ready. 

We also have a schedule of the approximate time you will be hauled out (Haul Out Approximate Times document attached)  . We ask you to be at your boat 1 hour before haul out and ensure the lines are ready, your sling marks are in place, and the cradle or jack stands are ready. This year if you have jack stand you will  need to make wooden plywood bases at least 3 feet by 3 feet to distribute the weight of the stand. If you are one of the very heavy boats, 4 feet by 4 feet maybe be required.

There is also a 5 page Mapping Document of the club. Please check your location and make sure your cradle, jack stands and/or trailer are in that location .  If you have any questions or concerns please contact me.
