Berthing
Berthing
LOSSC is fortunate to have three compounds, surrounding the Signal Station, which provide space for berthing around 130 dinghies.
As space is limited we have a strict seaworthiness rule, which means that boats that are not deemed seaworthy will not be given a space in the compound.
Berths are available to club sailing members, the children (aged 14 to 17 inclusive) of social members, and Gybe Club parents.
The fee is dependent on the class of boat (see below).
Berths will be allocated on a first come first served basis after payment of the fee.
They will be deemed to have been forfeited if not occupied by May 31st (except at the discretion of the Sailing Committee). Berths are allocated under conditions laid down in the Club Rule 18.
Berthing Allocations
All berths are numbered and allocated by the Sailing Committee. Once a berth is allocated you will be issued a berthing sticker. Please place the berthing sticker in a prominent position such as on the mast or on the transom of boats which are normally berthed with their masts down.
Please ensure that you secure your boat well when it is in its berth. Any Boat not in its allocated berth will be moved at your risk. Failure to pay for an occupied berth runs the risk of the club disposing of the boat to recover dues. Trailers must not be kept on Club property except in their allocated berth.
It is the club's policy to promote active sailing and so boat usage is monitored throughout the season. You may lose your berth allocation if you have not made reasonable use of your berth or if you fail to carry out allocated duties.
Insurance
All craft must be insured against third party risks of at least £2,000,000. If your boat is in our compound, you are deemed to have accepted this condition.
Berthing Fees (annual charge for 2020 season)
Due to a high level of demand, we are currently limited with space. Please enquire whether there is space available by contacting our Membership Secretary.
