Club Rules
A few rules keep the club, the yard and the bar running smoothly for everyone.
These are a summary of the club’s key rules. Full rules are available from the office and are presented at your New Members’ night.
Dress & Conduct
A reasonable standard of dress is required at all times — no caps or singlets after 6:30pm (7:30pm during daylight saving) and no bare feet indoors. Physical or verbal confrontation on or near club premises will not be tolerated, and members should moderate language around women and children.
Membership Cards
Members must carry their membership card on club premises at all times and comply with Liquor Licensing Authority regulations.
Guests
Guests must be signed in at the bar. Each guest is limited to a maximum of 12 visits per year, and a maximum of 6 guests at once without Commodore approval.
Hardstand
A Health & Safety sign-on is required before any work. All accounts must be paid in full before your vessel is put back in the water — “No Cash, No Splash”. Untidy sites incur a $250 penalty, and public liability insurance is mandatory before hauling out.
Pontoon Berthing
Berthing time on the pontoon is a maximum of 3 hours (except booked work bays), and vessels must not be left unattended. Only minor work — servicing, cleaning, electrical, plumbing and brush painting — is permitted on the jetty, with no discharge into the river.
Parking & Dinghies
A 10km/h speed limit and one-way system apply; vehicles need a current membership sticker, WOF and registration. Short-term loading is limited to 3 hours. Unsecured overnight dinghies may be impounded, and after 28 days unclaimed dinghies may be sold to recover costs.
Contractors must provide $5 million public liability and $2 million ship repairers liability insurance certificates before working on site.
