Important Information Lift Out Oct 16th – time to start planning on removing your boat

Dear boatowner, 

Its that time of the season when we unfortunately must start thinking about the end of the summer sailing season and the transition to winter sailing or hibernation for your boat. The annual Lift Out is on Saturday October 16^th. Please note that all boats (except Optimists) must be removed from the Club Forecourt no later than Sunday Oct 10^th for the Boathouse team to start lifting boats and prepare the yard for Lift Out and frostbite parking.   

Any boats remaining on the Forecourt after the 16^th will be removed outside of the Club (€150 relocation fee) and forego future parking privileges. 

Temporary Storage until after Lift Out for boats that will be sailing over the winter.

This year again we have secured temporary storage in the Old Ferry Terminal for those of you who do not wish to take your boats home and will be sailing over the winter. Please note that this facility is only available for boats that will be actively sailed during the winter as part of the DBSC Frostbite series and/ or scheduled Club winter training programs for the various classes.  

Boats can be taken over to the Ferry terminal (mast down) on the following dates and times: 

• Saturday 2^ndof October and Sunday 3^rd of October at 12:00 and 17:00 or 
• Saturday 9^thof October and Sunday 10^th of October at 12:00 and 17:00 

The cost for this temporary storage is €25 p/ boat. Space is limited and must be applied for using the application form at this link:   https://rsgyc.wufoo.com/forms/dlrcoco-temporary-dinghy-storage-october-2021/

Frostbite Dinghy Parking 

As is the case each year due to significant space constraints, the RSGYC will provide preference for dinghy parking for those sailors that will be actively sailing throughout the winter.

If you are entered into the DBSC Frostbites or will be actively sailing as part of one of the above-mentioned groups a winter parking space will be allocated to you upon completion of the online application which will be made live on Wednesday 22^nd at 2000. Please use this link to add your boat(s) to the wait list for space – https://rsgyc.wufoo.com/forms/20212022-frostbite-parking-waitlist/

Winter Dinghy Storage- if you will not be actively sailing but are seeking winter storage for your dinghy, we may be able to provide space. Please use the link above to indicate your preference.  https://rsgyc.wufoo.com/forms/dlrcoco-temporary-dinghy-storage-october-2021/

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation on the above. Please contact Karin in the Sailing Office if you have any questions.
