GYC Haul Out 2021

Dear GYC Members,

Attached is a copy of the schedule and mapping for haul out.

Please note we STILL NEED HELPERS to fill in on some of the crews.

Arrive at least 30-45 minutes ahead of your haul out time. (Those at 8 am should arrive 07:40 am). 

Remember that haul out can get ahead of schedule, or behind schedule, so please be patient and ready to go when you’re called in.

Fenders, lines, and sling pads must be in place by Friday evening.  You must have a bow and a stern line at least 30’ long.  Please lead them down so they are accessible from the ground.

Our major contact  to you will be your cell phone and preferably by text, otherwise a cell call.  Please make sure your cell phone is up to date on the  list of captains and boats. Please call Becky 519-373-6101 by Thursday at the latest with correct cell phone so the list can be updated. If you have another member hauling your boat out please notify us by e-mail.   If you have no cell phone, then tell us that too. 

Please park outside the property, as near your assigned gate as possible. 

We require members to wear a mask to protect your selves and your fellow club members and the crane crew. Please bring your own mask if possible.

Once your boat is Hauled,  keep you distance  and you can work on your boat. 

For all question or if you can volunteer, please contact Mike Forcier

mike@greybrucelaw.ca or his office at 519-372-0722.   If there is a problem during Haul Out you can also reach Mike at 519-372-5960.

GYC Covid-19 Policy

Ontario proof of vaccine update

As of September 22, the Provincial Proof of Vaccine Mandate came into effect.  This requires some types of businesses and facilities to request proof of vaccination from those entering.  The primary impact on the GYC will be in the running of social events in the clubhouse. 

Although no club social events are planned at this time, future club events will require attendees to show proof of vaccination and a photo ID before entering.  Medical exemptions are permitted. 

The use of washrooms and Board Meetings are not affected by the proof of vaccine mandate.  

Current use of masks and social distancing remains unchanged.  Outside settings do not require masks unless distancing cannot be maintained. Masks for Haul-out crews are therefore required.


Clarification on the use of the covered patio

Currently the covered patio area is considered outdoors under COVID rules, which allows socially distanced groups of up to 25 to gather.  Note, only one of the temporary patio walls may be fitted to this area. 

No social events are allowed inside the clubhouse until further notice.  This includes club and unsanctioned gatherings.

Gas Dock Closed July 17-August 2

Dear GYC Members,

The Haslam family are going on vacation around the bay and our much appreciated gas dock attendant Josh is going with them.

We have been unable to find a volunteer to do any days during that time, so the gas dock will be closed from Saturday July 17 to Monday August 2nd.

If anyone is able to come forward to help out please contact Chris Haslam.
