B.       The Tenant agrees to have on file with the Lessor of Docks a valid Certificate of Liability Insurance of no less than 300,000.00 liability as determined by the Board of Directors.  It will be the tenant’s responsibility to provide the Lessor of Docks with a valid certificate within 30 days of the date of expiration.  Failure to comply will result in suspension of slip privileges for the next season.

C.       No modifications or alterations are to be made to any slip or dock without prior approval of the Board of Directors.

H.       The gas dock is to be used only for obtaining gas, head pump out, loading and unloading.  Fueling at slips is prohibited.

I.         The Tenant is responsible for the upkeep to his slip, painting, cleaning (spiders & bird droppings), nailing loose boards, reporting at once any major repairs needed.  Tenant’s failure to maintain his / her slip may result in AYC hiring the work done after two (2) weeks notification.  Any expenses involved will become the responsibility of the Tenant.

J.        No one is allowed to climb the fence.  If your key is forgotten, ask another to let you in.

 

II.     VESSEL CONDITION & MAINTENANCE

 

                A.     To be admitted and to continue as a Tenant of the AYC Harbor, a boat must be:

1.        Registered, identified, marked, equipped and maintained as required by law and safe practice.

2.        Inspected annually by the Coast Guard Auxiliary by June 15 as set by the Board of Directors.  All requirements of the Coast Guard Auxiliary Vessel Safety Examiner’s VSC must be met to qualify for summer and / or winter privileges.

3.        Subject to periodic inspection by the AYC Safety Committee to determine the maintenance of proper safety conditions as required by the Coast Guard and any other lawful authority.

B.       While at the AYC, all vessels must be maintained in a neat, attractive and seaworthy condition.  Failure to maintain your vessel will result in a five (5) day notice to correct all adverse conditions.  Failure to comply will result in a fourteen (14) day termination notice.

 

III.    SLIP RENTAL

 

A.       Seasonal rental periods shall be defined as summer (May 1 – October 31) and winter (November 1 – April 30).

B.       The slips and docks at the AYC are under the control of the Board of Directors.  They shall assign and allocate slips as spelled out in the AYC By-Laws.

C.       Tenant shall make every effort to notify the Yacht Club when their slip will be vacant overnight or for extended periods.  The AYC reserves the right to rent Tenant’s slip during periods of Tenant’s absence.  Such use will be without payment to the Tenant.

D.       Tenant may not sublet or otherwise permit anyone else to use the Tenant’s slip.  Only one vessel may be registered to a specific slip on a seasonal basis.  If a Tenant sells his/her vessel and purchases a different vessel, the Tenant may continue to lease the slip, provided the new vessel meets all other applicable requirements.

E.       Tenant shall not allow anyone to operate his/her vessel within the Yacht Club Harbor unless the Tenant is present.  The spouse and children under twenty-one (21) years of age of Tenant shall be allowed to operate the Tenant’s vessel with the Tenant’s permission and acceptance of all liability.  Adult children over twenty-one (21) years of age shall be allowed to operate Tenant’s vessel provided they maintain their own Yachting Membership.

F.       The Board of Directors is authorized and empowered at their sole discretion and judgment to determine and cancel any slip privilege at any time as prescribed in the AYC By-Laws.  Slip privileges will be suspended for the following season for failure to pass Coast Guard Auxiliary inspection or lack of a valid Certificate of Liability Insurance as mentioned in Sections I and II.

 

IV.    CONDUCT

 

A.       Movement of boats within the harbor must be on a “no wake” basis.

B.       Tenant shall conduct him or herself so as not to unreasonably annoy, bother, or interfere with the rights and privileges of the other Tenants.  Tenant is responsible for the conduct of guests.

C.       While at the Appleton Yacht Club, the Tenant, his agents, or invites, agree to abide by all regulations of the United States, State of Wisconsin, and City of Appleton Wisconsin and such rules and regulations of the Appleton Yacht Club as may be established hereafter.

 

V.     STORAGE

 

A.       No boat may remain in dry storage past the June 15 Coast Guard Inspection deadline without the express permission of the Board of Directors.

B.       Beams may be stored in the designated area or your slip provided it is done in a manner that is acceptable to the Tenant on either side and the Safety Committee.  Beams must be stored the same day the boat is put in the water.  All beams stored at the club must be marked with the Tenant’s name.

C.       Absolutely no cradles, blocking, or lumber is to be stored on Club property.

 

VI.    EQUIPMENT

 

A.       Work Slip:

1.        The work slip will not be leased during the boating season and must be kept open for emergency use.

2.        Slip rental will include the use of the Work Slip, slings and jacks two (2) times per year.  Additional use is $5.00 for members, $20.00 per day for non-members.  All fees must be paid in advance.

B.       Jacks, Slings, Work Rafts, Choker Cables, and any other tack can be (and should be) reserved in advance by signing up in the calendar for such purpose in the clubhouse.  Although not a requirement, it prevents conflicts with other members’ interested in using the same equipment at the same time on the same day.  For emergencies exceptions will always be made; otherwise however, those who have signed up have priority.

C.       Work Rafts, when not being used must be returned and secured at all times in their storage area ONLY.  You are responsible for any damage or loss to the rafts.  Never leave a raft under a boat or dock overnight  (changing water levels can cause serious damage to it and can make the work raft useless for days or weeks while pinned under a dock, beam or boat).

D.       Tack Room:

1.        The Tack Room is for Club Equipment Only.  NO PERSONAL ITEMS MAY BE KEPT THERE.

2.        Items stored behind the restricted “gated area” are either owned or loaned to the Appleton Yacht Club and are being used by either the Harbor Committee or the Slips and Docks Committee or both.  THE GATED AREA WITHIN THE TACK ROOM IS RESTRICTED AND OFF LIMITS TO MEMBERS.

3.        Members’ gate door keys open the door to the tack room; therefore, members are responsible to insure that the Tack Room door is kept locked at all times.

4.        All equipment is to be returned to the location it is stored..  No equipment is to leave the club premises without prior approval of the Board of Directors.

5.        The Slips and Docks Committee shall assess a $20.00 charge to a Tenant for failure to return equipment properly and promptly to the Tack Room.
