Moorings are available for casual use by PBYC Financial Members
Mooring Policy - September 2006
The Club has 4 moorings for the use of financial members.
There are two in Coasters Retreat (Basin).
(PBYC mooring and Palm Beach Cruising Club mooring next to it).
One is in Towler’s Bay.
One is in Refuge Bay.
Locations are shown on the maps below.
All moorings consist of a 1 ton block and appropriate ground tackle to secure a 40 ft yacht in most weather conditions.
The following policy applies to the use of the moorings.
- Daytime raft-up’s are permitted with due care being given to the prevailing weather conditions. It is recommended that not more than 3 yachts raft-up at any one time and a responsible crewmember must be aboard at all times.
- Overnight mooring use should be restricted to one yacht alone.
- A maximum of 24 hours occupation by any one yacht is permitted.
- You should fly your club burgee while on the mooring.
- At all times it is the member’s responsibility to take due care as to the safety of their yacht. The club ensures that regular maintenance of the moorings is undertaken but accepts no responsibility for failure of the mooring apparatus.
- If you see any damage to the mooring, please inform a member of the committee so that any repairs can be arranged promptly.
- If a non-club boat is occupying the mooring then all reasonable efforts should be made to encourage the occupant to vacate the mooring (or join the club on the spot!). Do not resort to force if the occupant refuses to move. Contact Waterways or if you feel very strongly then Broken Bay Water police.
- A list of current financial club yachts can be made available to interested members. Contact the Treasurer for details.
By following these guidelines we can have a reasonable chance of being able to enjoy the club moorings in the company of fellow members.
