The following policy applies to storage of all boats, trailers and
equipment in the Kurnell Catamaran Club Incorporated (KCC) Boat
Yards (herein referred to as the "KCC Boat Yards") comprising 7-9 Ward
Street, Kurnell Boat Yard (herein referred to as the “KCC Back Boat
Yard”) and 310 Prince Charles Parade,
Kurnell (herein referred to as the “KCC Front Boat Yard”). The KCC
Boat Yard Policy are the rules determining fees, eligibility and
priority to store boats, trailers and equipment in the KCC Boat
Yards due to limited available storage places.
- Boat Owner must be a KCC Financial Member
and must have pre-paid the “Catamaran Pre-Pay Season Race Fee”
for the first full and subsequent years of boat storage.
- The KCC Boat Yard Storage Agreement must
be completed and signed. Boat Yard Storage Fees must be paid and
up to date.
- The Boat must be sailed regularly at KCC.
Least regular sailed boats are first to be asked to leave.
- Multi-hulls have preference over all other
craft; including trailers etc. “Off the Beach” Catamarans have
preference over all craft, including other multi-hulls and
trailers.
- One Boat Yard Storage Fee implies one
space (i.e. boat and trailer must be combined to occupy 1
space.)
- For those who store trailers only or non-multihull craft. These may only be stored if there is sufficient
space in the boat yard as determined by the Race Committee.
Trailers on their own and non-multihull craft may not be
stored in the KCC Front Boat Yard without the written permission
of the Race Committee. If you are storing only a trailer or non-multihull craft, you will still be charged as if it is a
boat/trailer combination. If other boat/trailer combinations
require space in the boat yard, you will be given thirty (30) days notice
to exit the boat yard and refunded the unused portion of your
boat yard fee as determined by the Treasurer or Assistant
Treasurer of KCC.
- Storage in the KCC Front Boat Yard is at
the discretion of the KCC Race Committee who will take into
account the frequency of racing of the boat and available space.
Owners willing to store boat with mast up (with mast adequately
secured including halyards etc. tied off to avoid noise) will be
given additional consideration for storage in the KCC Front Boat
Yard.
Boat storage, KCC Front Boat Yard – This refers to the area at
310 Prince Charles Parade, Kurnell. This storage is mast up and
fundamentally for spinnaker boats. Places are allocated at the
discretion of the KCC management committee. An annual fee (Boat
storage fee + Race fee pre-paid) applies. Casual storage is not
normally available in this area. Boats stored in this area must
be secured to prevent movement in extreme wind conditions.
Securing arrangements are the responsibility of the owner.
Warning: there are underground services
including 240-volt power mains in this area. Exercise extreme
caution when installing tie down points.
- Boats in the KCC Back Boat Yard must not
store their boats with their masts up. This is a safety issue.
- Physical security and tie down of boat,
trailer and equipment remains the responsibility of the owner.
-
Boats/trailers must be positioned in an orderly manner, with the
minimum space between them. Boats must not block the access to
other boats and trailers. Masts must not interfere with the
access of vehicles.
-
Boats in the KCC Front Boat Yard must not block access to the
building or side gates.
-
Owners must abide by oral storage instructions from a member of
the KCC Race Committee in regard to Boat Storage.
-
Owners requiring casual storage must provide full contact
details and boat/trailer registration to a member of the KCC
Race Committee and must still complete a Boat Yard Storage
Agreement. Casual storage is at the sole discretion of the KCC
Race Committee.
- All boats and trailers stored must have
adequate third party personal and property insurance.
- The KCC Boat Yard Storage Fees apply
from 1st September each year (i.e. when you renew, your boat
yard fees will cover you for one year from 1st September). New
members who join mid-year and wish to pay yearly will be charged
$2 per day to 1st September or the full yearly fee, whichever
is the lesser amount. If the Race Season has not passed the 30th
November when a Boat enters the Boat Yard they will still be
expected to pay the “Catamaran Pre-Pay Season Race Fee” for the
current season.
- Casual KCC Boat Yard Storage, less than
thirty (30) days, is subject to availability and discretion of
KCC Race Committee and must have a KCC Race Committee member’s
written approval and is $2 per day with a ten (10) day minimum and
thirty (30) day
maximum and must be pre-paid. The KCC Race Committee member will
determine the actual storage space and in which boat yard. For
KCC Casual Boat Yard Storage, no key will be issued or lent and
hence casual storage users must coordinate entry/exit of boats
with the KCC sailing dates and times. The KCC Storage Agreement
must still be fully completed and signed by the Boat Owner for
casual storage.
- Boat Owners and other persons store
their craft and gear at entirely their own risk.
KCC and individual Club Members will not accept any
liability for loss, theft, material damage, personal injury or
death sustained in conjunction with, prior, during, or after the
storage activity. Also
refer to the KCC disclaimer on the KCC website (www.kcc.asn.au),
which additionally applies.
- Boat Owners and other persons storing
boats; trailer and equipment are responsible for ensuring they
lock the gates of the boatyard (and any buildings or other
fenced areas, such as the garages of KCC or the Front Boat Yard
building and main doors of KCC and side doors of Front Boat Yard
building). If they are
the last to leave on a Club sailing day or are sailing at any
other time they must secure the yard/building before they leave.
On days other than club sailing days the yard and
building must be locked at any time that the yard or building is
unoccupied.
- The offer of Boat Yard Storage is
strictly limited and KCC reserves the right to withdraw the
offer of storage in one or more of the boat yards in its
entirety at any time. Reasonable attempts will be made to
contact the boat owner.
All boat owners will have a maximum of thirty (30) days from the original
notice (which may be mailed or emailed to them and/or posted on
one or more of KCC Notice Boards, KCC Website or
physically on the boat) to remove their boat, trailer and
equipment from storage or it will be evicted. Withdrawal of the
storage offer in one boat yard does
not automatically entitle
the boat owner to store their boat, trailer and equipment in the
other boat yard.
- In the event that storage fees are overdue
for a period of three (3) calendar months the Kurnell Catamaran Club
Incorporated shall have the right to sell the boat, trailer and
equipment at a price determined by the Executive Committee of
the KCC as fair and reasonable.
- In the event that a boat, trailer or
equipment are sold in accordance with Clause 20 the remainder of
the sale price after the deduction of storage fees will be paid
to the boat owner. If the Boat Owner cannot be contacted after
reasonable written attempts by KCC, the sale price difference
will default to KCC after a period of nine (9) months after the
sale.
- Boat Owners storing in the KCC Boat Yards
are also subject to additional terms and conditions of the
“Occupancy Lease’ with the Government. If required, a copy of
the lease(s) can be obtained from the KCC Secretary. The fees
mentioned in these lease(s) are payable by KCC not the Boat
Owner.
-
Associated trailer- is a trailer used to transport a boat which
is currently stored in one of the boat yards on/off beach
wheels. The trailer is to be stored in the KCC Back Boat Yard,
space permitting. There is an Associated trailer fee that is
additional and separate where the trailer is not stored with the
boat as one entity.
-
KCC reserves the right to vary this KCC Boat Yard Policy from
time to time. Such changes will be documented on the KCC website
and attached or referenced from the current Membership Form. .
