Mooring assignments are renewed every year, and subject to location changes at the Rear Commodore's discretion. Consideration is given for:

Parking Rules

  • Identification stickers must be affixed to the transom, either on the starboard side or close to the rudder.
  • Boats and trailers must be "parked" in the space assigned by the Rear Commodore.
  • All boats sailed from the blacktop should have lifting bridles. On race days boats with bridles have priority other those requiring the use of slings.
  • All trailers with a boat weighing more than 800 lbs. must have a 2" x 12" x 2' piece of wood under the tongue to prevent damage to the blacktop.







Are there rules for Shark park storage?


CYC Dinghies

CYC provides dinghies for members to access their boats in the mooring field.
Dinghies are stored in marked locations along the center bulkhead of the dry sail area, marked with the letters CYC and a number, and has its own set of matching oars.
After use, return each dinghy to its appropriate numbered slot or rack position. Do NOT leave dinghies in the water, walkway, or blacktop.
Dinghies are to be stored with the hull facing up its oars placed on top or underneath the boat.
Report any damages, necessary repairs, or other problems with the dinghies or the oars to the Rear Commodore.

Personal Dinghies
Members are welcome to provide their own dinghies, but must register them with the Rear Commodore. The rack space is included in the mooring fee. If you are not mooring a boat, a fee applies. All dinghy rack spaces are provided on a first come first serve basis.

Space assignments are renewed every year, subject to location changes, at the Rear Commodore's discretion. Member provides planking for cradles and trailers in order to prevent damage to the blacktop,
