Boat Park Facility
North Devon Yacht Club Boat Park
Do you want to use the Boat Park Facility ?
We are Community Amateur Sports Club and our Boat Park is a wonderful asset for the club to enable and help members get on the water.
There is no automatic right however to use the boat park as there may not be enough space, especially in the Winter.
You must be a full member to keep a boat in the boat park.
We are not a boat yard. Hence all cruisers must be lifted onto their moorings each Summer and no project boats are allowed to be brought into the boat park.
Insurance is mandatory for any boat stored in the boat park.
Boat Park Fees must be paid before a boat enters the boat park.
New Boat to NDYC ?
Winter Use: If you are a new member or a member with a new boat, you must first contact the boat park officers via email: boatpark@ndyc.org and apply to enter the boat park.
You must include details of your craft and get confirmation from the Boat Park Officer that you are able to use the facility.
Demand for space is greater than ever and while Instow Marine Services will do everything they can to get as many boats as possible in the Boat park, no guarantees can be given that space will be available.
Summer Only Use: This can be dealt with usually online and by the office.
If new to the boat park and the boat park officer confirms that there is space for your craft (if required), you will then need to log in to the members portal and update the details of your boat. As a minimum you must enter the length and beam of the boat and ensure the boat name and type or class of craft is correct. You may like to enter a photograph of your boat and any further details. It is the responsibility of a member to make sure that their contact details and details of their craft are entered accurately.
Whilst on the portal, please not only update your own data but also please enter your qualifications.
We recommend for your own peace of mind, you check your insurance details.
Membership Sticker Required for All Craft:
All craft including tenders, dinghies and catamarans must display a current, valid membership sticker, obtained from the Office or collected from behind the bar, upon proof of current membership.
Tenders with stickers may be stored on members' boats.
All tenders stored by the wall adjacent to the slipway must be removed to allow storage of winter racing dinghies.
The boat park fees for yachts, motorboats or day boats for the winter are transferring to a rate per area. All boats will have a calculation of length x beam to create an area.
