Marina and Yard fees Terms and Conditions

 

A Berthing form is required for all boats kept at the Yacht Club, giving details of the boat and the owner(s), including joint owners and those responsible for the fees.  All must be members. 

If you do not return your form on time you may lose your position.  (Additional forms can be obtained from the office)

 

It is important that the form is signed confirming that your boat has the necessary insurance which is legally required not only by the Club but also the Cardiff Harbour Authority.  

The Club does not accept liability for the loss or damage to member’s boats or their equipment whilst stored or berthed on the premises.

 

You will need to contact the Admin Office immediately if any of the following apply:

1.       When you sell your boat

·       If selling to a non-member, the Club Member (ex-owner) will remain responsible for all fees until the vessel is removed from the premises.

·       If sold to another Club Member, the ex-owner will remain responsible for all fees until the office has been notified in writing of the change of ownership.

·       If selling to a Non-member who is looking to apply for membership, the Club Member (ex-owner) will remain responsible for all fees until the new owners membership has been passed by the Council of Management.  Even though the boat may already be on a berth, this is not transferrable. The new owner will need to apply for a berth and may have to go on a waiting list.

2.       When renaming your boat

3.       If you change your boat i.e. take your boat at club away and replace with different one. Please note, a new berthing form is required.

4.       When you take your boat away from the Club for more that a week e.g. for repair, holiday etc

5.       When you have self launched/recovered your boat and leave it either in the compound or on the slip waiting

 

Please Note: If paying Monthly fees you will continue to be charged for your berth until the office has been notified.

 

It is a Club rule that vessels involved in a Commercial Operation or purchased for that use are not allowed to be berthed or stored on the premises.

 

Waste Management

The Club provides a waste skip and waste oil facility.  Full details of the facilities are given in the port waste management plan posted on the notice eboard.  All costs associated with the provision of these facilities are included in the berthing fees.

 

PONTOON BERTHS AND MOORINGS:

Whereas every effort will be made to maintain each vessel on its allocated berth, occasionally vessels may be required to move to an alternate berth to allow for more efficient usage of the Club’s facilities.  Please be aware that the Club maintains up to the fixing point.  Mooring warps and lines are the responsibility of the owner.

If the Club staff are required to pump out boats, replace lines or fenders, etc. you will be charged a reasonable fee.  This in no way reduces the owner’s responsibility to look after his vessel.

 

Rental – One Off    Fee is charged at the beginning of the Club year (or on boat’s arrival) and must be paid within 30 days of receipt of invoice to qualify for the discounted rate and secure tenure of a berth.  The fee provides access to a pontoon berth for one year, with all other services such as lifts or compound time charges separately at the published rates.   The berth is not transferable to a third party and payment is non refundable.

 

Rental – Quarterly   Fee is charged at beginning of each quarter (April, July, October & January) and must be paid within 30days of receipt of invoice to qualify for this discounted rate and secure tenure of a berth.  The fee provides access to a pontoon berth for each quarter, with all other services such as lifts or compound time charges separately at the published rates.   The berth is not transferable to a third party and payment is non refundable.

 

Rental - Monthly      These berths are available on a first come first served and last in first out basis, however no guarantee of security of tenure can be made. Fees are charged at the end of each month and are payable 30 days from the date of the invoice. The berth is not transferable to a third party.

 

Debenture Holder    All debenture holders must complete and return a Berthing Request. Pontoon management and maintenance fee (only applicable to existing debenture holders) will be charged as per location/payment option requested.   Pontoon terms and conditions are as laid out above.

 

PLEASE NOTE: if the payment terms on the ‘One Off’ and ‘Quarterly’ payment option/fees are not adhered to, the fee will immediately revert to the Monthly Standard fee with effect from the beginning of the Contract Year.

 

 

Compound Storage:

Members are responsible for providing suitable chocking materials or cradles.  The Club has some equipment that is available for hire.

As there are only a limited number of spaces in the compound a penalty rate applies, irrespective of the Club year, and includes for example build/repair projects that have yet to be launched.

Trailers, cradles, etc. cannot be stored on the premises when not in use. If the management feel it is appropriate, a heavy penalty fee will be applied for those left on the premises

 

All compound/dinghy storage spaces allocated must be kept clean and clear of rubbish, scrap timber, empty paint pots, etc. Also dirty bilge water or any form of polluted waste must not be discharged onto the compound.

 

Boat Movements:

A set rate will apply for a one-way lift using the hoist, i.e. launch, lift out or lift.  A lift out, remain in slings and re-launch is offered at the rate of a one-way lift but is only available when the hoist is not otherwise in use.  This is also available over the weekend, lifting out on Friday (last lift) and re-launching first thing Monday morning.

Using the tractor to launch, recover or lift a craft on its own trailer will also be charged. 

Except in emergency, lifts cannot be accommodated during weekends

 

Dinghy Storage:

All boats kept in the dinghy storage area must display a current PAID sticker as regular checks will be made.  Boats not displaying a sticker will be removed to a secure location until the fee is paid.  Due to limited storage Beach Cat space is allocated on a first come first served basis.

Fees for Dinghies, Flying Fifteen and Beach Cats are charged at the beginning of the Club year and must be paid within 30 days of receipt of invoice.  Once payment is received a PAID sticker will be sent out and this MUST be placed in a prominent position.  The fee is not transferable to a third party.

 

DINGHY/FLYING FIFTEEN/BEACH CATERMARAN - USE IT OR LOSE IT POLICY

In line with the ‘Use it or Lose it’ policy, the owners of any boat which have failed to achieve the required number of sails in 2009/10 will not be eligible to apply for a space in 2010/11 and will be expected to remove their boat from Club premises by 31st March 2010 at the latest.

Boats involved in racing need not register their usage as this will be picked up through the results.

Casual Sailing needs to be registered in either of the logs which are kept in the bar or Admin Office.

 

Launch, Recovery and Take away:   

The club offers a launch, recovery and take-away fee for craft (including dinghies) using the slipways but not kept on club premises.  This is an annual fee and is non-transferable and non-refundable.

Owners will be issued with a sticker (once they have paid their fee) which MUST be displayed prominently on the craft.  All trailers must be clearly marked with the name of the craft and owner.

 

Unpaid fees /Abandoned Boats:

The Club has adopted the RYA Recommended Club rules for unpaid fees/abandoned boats.

“If at any time any mooring fees or facility fees payable to the Club by any member or former member shall be three months or more in arrears:

1.       The Council of Management (CoM) shall be entitled to move the boat to any part of the premises without being liable for any loss of or damage to the boat howsoever caused.

2.       The CoM shall be entitled upon giving one month’s notice in writing to sell the boat and to deduct any monies due to the Club from the net proceeds of the sale before accounting for the balance (if any) to the member.

3.       Alternatively, any boat which, in the opinion of the CoM cannot be sold, be disposed of in any manner the CoM thinks fit and the expenses recovered from the member. Any arrears as aforesaid shall be deemed to be a debt to the Club by the member.

 

 

If you are having difficulty paying your fees please contact the office who will be more than willing to assist you.

 

 

YOU ARE REMINDED, as the Club now has its own fuelling berth, fuelling diesel engines boats directly from cans is against Club rules.
