Boat Storage

Storage will be allocated by the AWYC Committee Storage Rep on an annual basis (1st July – 30th June). Boat storage is only available to registered Sailing Members (not Social). A Storage Permit will be issued and is required to be displayed on your trailer / trolley.

Your requirement for storage will be noted on the online membership application / renewal. If you held a storage bay last season (and are happy to remain in the same bay) then you can renew your storage application and pay as part of your membership renewal.

If applying for storage for the first time, wishing to move locations, or applying for multiple boats you will be sent an email once a suitable storage bay has been identified. The email will contain a link to go online and complete and pay for your storage application. Payment must be made for a space to be allocated and a permit issued.

Procedure for allocating storage
Continuation of storage each year is not guaranteed.
Storage will be allocated based on the following priorities (taken in order from 1 to 7).

Is the applicant a current financial sailing member?
Is a storage space currently available?
Is this a continuation of storage allocation from the previous year?
Have all previous storage fees been paid in full?
Is the boat insured? (For the benefit of boat owners and other sailors AWYC recommends all boats should carry $5,000,000 third party liability insurance as a minimum.)
Has the member been actively involved in club administration or sailing activities?
Has the boat been regularly used (racing and/or recreational)?

If the answer to any of these questions is no then other new applications for storage will be considered as a priority.
