Because of concerns expressed by several club members, the board of trustees took a look at the boat and trailer parking situations on club grounds and as a result added section 8 under the heading Berthing of Boats of the Rules and Regulation of the Oconee Sailing and Yacht Club, Inc. The latest revision of the bylaws can be found at [http://osyc.net/bylaws.htm->http://osyc.net/bylaws.htm]. Several changes have been made in the past few years and if you have not done so recently, please reread them, especially the Rules and Regulations part. The section pertinent to parking of boats and trailers are reprinted below for your reference. Essentially, the concerns expressed were that boats with masts up were having a difficult time finding a suitable parking place, especially those who had trailered their boats and were returning them to the club. Also, some of the day sailors that were parked on the sloping area on the side of the ramp opposite the club house would not drain properly. Another problem was that the area near the swimming and beach launching areas was being used for boat parking. The trustees decided that if the empty trailers were moved to the spaces which were not suitable for mast-up boat storage, there should be enough room to park the trailers with boats on them. Several weeks ago the trustees rearranged most of the trailers and some of the to reflect the new parking rules which are printed below. Hopefully these changes will relieve some of the stress related to finding a parking place and make the club more enjoyable for the membership. If your empty trailer is parked in an area reserved for boats on trailers, the trustees asks that you relocate them at your earliest convenience. The trustees also ask that each member take care not to block trailers with your vehicle/trailer if you are going to be away from the club grounds, i.e. out sailing. On more than one occasion, a member has arrived at the club and was unable to get his boat in the water because it was blocked. If it is absolutely necessary (when the club is crowded) that you block a boat while you are out sailing, please leave your vehicle unlocked and the keys under the drivers floor at so that the vehicle can be moved. Rules and Regulations of the Oconee Sailing and Yacht Club, Inc., BERTHING OF BOATS , section 8.
