It is the objective of the RKYC to make boating safe and pleasurable for its members, their guests and visitors to our Club. As such, members are requested and expected to consider the impact of their and their guests actions on the club, the environment and on other members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Membership & Membership Responsibilities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The RKYC is a private club that is governed by the members through the member elected RKYC executive. While members are free to invite guests to RKYC property and activities, they (the inviting member(s)) are solely responsible<\/strong> for the behavior and safety of their guests. Any issues or concerns of guest(s) should be addressed by or through the member who invited him\/her\/them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An RKYC membership is required if a person is using Club facilities more than three times in a season. For example, If the person races as crew in more than three races, attends more than three buffets or Club events, or a combination of that adds up to three uses. A member\u2019s boating guest that does not use any of Club\u2019s programs or services does not require a membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Insurance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Each member is required to have a minimum $1,000,000 liability coverage and adequate insurance to cover the value of your vessel. The RKYC is not responsible for items left on the property or stored in Club buildings ie masts in the spar shed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Docks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The RKYC docks are 8 feet wide, which does not provide adequate room for two people to safely pass if hoses, power cords, rope, garbage, and coolers are left on the dock. It is the responsibility of each boat owning member to keep their area uncluttered. No permanent fastenings of any kind are to be placed on the docks. Carpeting & hooks are to be removed from the pilings at the end of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Electrical \/ Power Usage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 15 amp electrical outlets (and some 30 amp outlets) are supplied on the docks and are intended for trickle chargers and not for running air conditioning, refrigerators or supplying all the power needs of your boat. Please use common sense, as there can be a significant voltage drop further out the dock that may cause damage to other boater\u2019s equipment. Modifications to dock receptacles, to provide a different voltage or amperage, are not permitted<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Garbage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Garbage bins are located by the Spar Shed and please recycle any items that you can. Garbage bins are for garbage created from boating not from your household.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Waste Fluids<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Please properly dispose of used oil, antifreeze, and other toxic chemicals. There is a disposal tank for waste oil by the spar shed. Under no circumstances<\/strong> are members to dump these types of materials into the river or on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gas Dock<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No one other than the person responsible for fueling can be on the boat during refueling. The gas dock attendant will not pump the fuel for you \u2013 no one knows your boat better than you and the pumping of fuel is the owners\u2019 responsibility. All fueling should take place at the gas dock. Fueling at the dock (even dinghys) creates an unnecessary hazard to the marina. All passengers must disembark before fuelling begins. Cheques are not accepted as payment \u2013 cash, and most credit cards are. Members may not charge fuel to their accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summer Trailer Storage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you do not store your boat at the RKYC, there will be a charge for storing your trailer at the Club. Please check with the Yard Manager as to where your trailer should be stored. Your trailer must be registered with the office. <\/strong>An appropriate hitch lock should be used to prevent theft of your trailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
