All members of our club benefit from the low fees we pay. The fees can be
kept low because our members carry out many of the tasks that must be done
around the club. Each member family is expected to help with their share of the
work: approximately 3 days (24 hours) each year. If each member family honours
their commitment to the club, we will have another successful year. To encourage
all members to contribute where their abilities and aptitudes will be best utilized,
we have created task teams.
Please check 1 or 2 tasks where you think you can help.

This section allows us to identify your boat and/or trailer if you need to
be contacted in an emergency. Indicate the type of storage space you require. See also club rules
and policies. PLEASE NOTE: Certain storage facilities are limited and may not always be available.
This will depend on whether you had those facilities last year and how late your registration is
received. Waiting lists are kept, and spaces are assigned as they become available. Most watercraft
are considered by UTRCA as boats, and are required to have park permits. See UTRCA about
exceptions.***** As a leaser to the UTRCA, and in keeping with our good neighbour policy, the
Fanshawe Yacht Club strongly encourages you to purchase park permits and abide by the rules set
out by the UTRCA *****

Please take your time to ensure that you include all necessary and
optional fees and that you have added the fees correctly. Omitting fees or incorrect addition will
cause the application process to be delayed. New members must pay the one time initiation fee
(waived for past members, adult FYC sailing school graduates and youth members).
Refund Policy
Prior to the beginning of the sailing season (Victoria Day), the amount of any
refund shall be determined by the Board of Directors. There shall be no refund of dues or fees in
whole or in part to any deceased, resigning, or expelled member after the beginning of the sailing
season. See article 6.09 of the Fanshawe Yacht Club Constitution and By-laws.

deposit. The club has several boats available for leasing. Boats are available on a first come

sorting, etc. Each spring or fall work party day is equivalent to 8hrs club service. (Lunch is provided).

available from the membership chairman. The club constitution and bylaws are a separate document from the Club Handbook, and are available on
request from the club Secretary or can be downloaded from www.fyc.on.ca. All club members are required to abide by the provisions of the bylaws of
Fanshawe Yacht Club and the regulations of the Board of Directors. If you have any questions concerning club rules, do not hesitate to ask any
members of the Executive.
Some of the more important club rules and policies to remember:
Fanshawe Yacht Club (FYC) is not insured or responsible for any damage to member’s property stored at FYC, including boats and trailers. All
members are responsible for ensuring that their property is properly secured and is insured for all potential risks and liabilities. Any property stored at
FYC is left at the owners’ sole risk and expense. FYC shall not be liable for any loss or damage to the property of the owner, whether by theft or
otherwise.
Members are responsible for their conduct and the conduct of their family and guests at the club.
The front gate must be closed after use, and kept locked if left unattended.
The center island in the south parking lot is strictly a temporary storage area. Any trailer or boat left in the center island beyond one week may be
removed to the UTRCA trailer/boat storage compound, unless prior arrangements have been made with the parking area Marshal. Refer to
Boat/Trailer rules found in the Member’s Handbook.
There is limited trailer parking for finger dock and mooring users; this must be arranged as there is limited space. Storage can also be arranged with
the UTRCA campground office for a nominal fee. The only exception is for trailers with integrated sail lockers, which, provided trailer storage fees are
paid, can be left in their assigned parking spots.
Boats must be removed from moorings by the second weekend in October to permit mooring removal.
All Boats must be removed from club grounds by the second weekend in November. Arrangements for winter storage in the UTRCA compound can
be made with the UTRCA, and are the responsibility of the member. Property left on the club grounds after that date will be considered abandoned
and may be disposed of as the club and/or the UTRCA see fit.
Personal docks may be stored on the club property over the winter in the designated area near the main gate. Docks not installed by the second
weekend in May will be considered abandoned and become the property of the club to be disposed of, recycled, or reassigned. Beginning in 2012,
each owner of a finger dock should include with his or her member-ship fees a $50.00 security deposit, which will be refunded when the dock has
been removed from Club grounds.
Overnight Stays on cruising boats can be arranged with the UTRCA campground. Please refer to the Club
Handbook.
