KYC, INC. BOAT STORAGE RULES

(Revised  MAY 15, 2012)

KYC, Inc. (“the Club”) extends seasonal boat storage privileges for the benefit of its members and temporary or overnight docking privileges for its guests and transient boaters. The Club accepts no liability for property damage or injuries resulting from the extension of these privileges. The Club’s Board of Directors (“Board”) shall use its discretion to address exceptions or conflicts resulting from the enforcement of all rules, policies and procedures relating to boat storage.

Seasonal boat storage privileges will only be granted to members in good standing (“Renters”) and subject to availability. To maintain boat storage privileges, rent and other storage Fees (“Fees”) must be paid within thirty (30) days of billing. Fees paid beyond thirty (30) days are subject to a 10% late fee per month. If all Fees are not brought current within one hundred-twenty (120) days, the Renter’s boat storage privileges will be revoked.

Waiting lists for both inside and outside storage are posted at the Club for review by all members. In order to apply for storage, the member must contact the Commodore or Boat Storage Committee Chairman. When storage space becomes available, the member at the top of the respective list will be notified of the opening. Renters of storage space in the Sailing Club and Swan’s Corner will have first right of refusal for storage spaces that become available on the East Side of the harbor. The member will have seven (7) days to accept/reject the opportunity. If the member does not respond or rejects the opportunity, their name will revert to the bottom of the list. If the member accepts the storage space, Fees for storage will begin immediately to hold the space until an appropriate size boat is purchased but no longer than May 1st of the following boating season. If the storage space becomes available between January 1st and May 1st of the current year, the member will have an additional ninety (90) days after the May 1st date. (“Grace Period”) of the current year to purchase an appropriate size boat. Interim rental costs will be based on prevailing boat storage rates. If an appropriate size boat is not purchased by May 1^st (or expiration of the Grace Period) of the following boating season, the storage space will revert to the Club, all interim Fees paid will be forfeited and the next member on the list will be contacted.

Boat Length

The maximum registered length for inside storage is twenty-five (25) feet. The minimum registered length for outside storage is twenty-four (24) feet.

Purchase of Different Boats

Any Renter must notify the Board of their intention to change boats. The Club will not guarantee continued boat storage for purchases of larger boats that cannot be accommodated.

Temporary Vacancy of Slips

Permission to use an outside storage space during a Renter’s absence may only be granted by the Board or their designate. The Club has the right to use the storage space for temporary guests or transient boaters during the renter’s absence. Storage spaces equipped with a boatlift must have the lift in the down position when the storage space is not occupied by the Renter.

Renters of inside storage space will be allowed to sublet their slip as per the below provisions:

1. Their boat is stored elsewhere not owned by the Club.

2. The current renter contacts a member of the Boat Storage Committee requesting permission to sublet.

3. The Boat Storage Committee will contact the members on the Inside/Outside Storage Lists, beginning at the top of the list until the storage space is sublet. If no member, on the list, wants to sublet, the renter will be free to sublet to any member, until the end of the summer season.

4. Once the renter sublets their storage space, the renter will be billed 50% of their current rent, beginning with the next month, through the end of the summer season.

5. The sub-lessee will be billed for the storage space at the prevailing rental rate, beginning with the next month, through the end of the summer season.

Sales of Boat

A renter who sells their boat to another member, who has been a member for at least six (6) months, may transfer the use of their storage space with the boat. The six (6) month rule maybe waived as long as there are vacant slips available. (May 15, 2012) In addition, a boat transfer form, attached, must be completed and submitted to the Boat Committee Chair prior to the transfer of the slip. Current minimum documentation is a copy of the title and the title transfer form. The boat being transferred is the specific boat listed on the documentation submitted to KYC in May each year. If the boat is sold elsewhere, the renter must purchase an appropriate size boat by May 1^st (or grace period outlined above) of the following boating season in order to retain their storage space. The renter shall continue to pay rent and other storage costs at the prevailing rates or the storage space shall revert to the Club and the next member on the appropriate list will be notified of an opening.
