MBYC Reciprocal Moorage Policies as amended by the Board of Trustees 04/09/10
- In recognition of the desirability of making dock space available to the many MBYC members who do not have MBYC dock moorage assigned and to encourage their use of MBYC docks and club facilities on special occasions, the Board of Trustees has approved the following dates and periods during which visitors from reciprocal clubs may not expect to exercise reciprocal privileges and should not so plan. These closure dates will become effective as of June 2010. Questions regarding available reciprocal space should be directed to the Club Manager, Dock Chairman, or Reciprocal Chairman prior to the visit. The dates and events during which reciprocal visits are restricted are: Opening Day (1st weekend, May) Memorial Day Weekend (May) 4th of July weekend (July) SeaFair week, Blue Angel practice, air show/hydroplane races (August) Labor Day weekend (September) November 1- March 15th (Questions regarding available reciprocal space should be directed to the Club Manager, Dock Chairman, or Reciprocal Chairman prior to the visit to assure availability of dock space).
- Reciprocal moorage is complimentary, with a limit of 2 days per visit and 2 days monthly. There will be a $3.00 per night charge for electric power. 30A electrical power and water is available. Club membership cards are required and club burgees are to be flown.
- Reciprocal moorage is limited to the outer end of Dock 2. Rafting is permitted and encouraged.
- All guests must register at the Clubhouse upon arrival and complete a Guest Moorage Registration Card. (Registration packets are also available at the head of Dock 2 when the office is closed, Monday and Tuesday). Retain and display the large portion of the registration card aboard your vessel so that it may be seen from the dock. The small portion of the registration card shall remain with the Club Manager. The office telephone is 425-454-8880.
