LWSC Boat Storage Yard

The Yard is only for use by LWSC, RCRC, UC Davis Rowing, and LWOC members upon the execution of a dry Storage License agreement and approval by LWSC. Registered visitors from reciprocating yacht and sailing clubs may use the Yard on a temporary basis with permission the Harbormaster. (Guests must be accompanied by their hosts when using LWSC facilities).

All users of the Yard must sign an LWSC Dry Boat Storage Rental Agreement before occupying a space. Any vessels, boats, trailers stored on the Yard that are not part of a rental agreement will be considered trespassing, abandoned property, and subject to fees, impoundment, or sale. Arrangements for short term storage may be made with the Harbormaster. 

A current proof of insurance for any boat with a motor, fuel tank, or battery must be provided prior to use of the Yard. 

1. Boats 21 feet or under, weighing no more than 2000 lbs. fully loaded may be stored in the Yard. The Harbormaster must approve any use of the Yard. 
2. All spaces in the Yard and racks are assigned by the Harbormaster. Only the Harbormaster, or his or her designee, may assign spaces. 
3. All boats in the Yard, whether temporary or permanent and regardless of size, and all trailers, must be registered with the Harbormaster and have a means of ready identification visible from the ground and without removing or loosening covers. For boats this method of identification may be any one of the following: (1) a CF Number on the boat or cover, (2) a name painted on the boat or cover, (3) a special LWSC tag on the starboard bow or transom (these tags are available from the Harbormaster), or (4) a hull number. For trailers this method of identification may be either a LWSC tag on the starboard side of the tongue or a license plate. For those spaces containing more than one vessel or trailer, all additional vessels or trailers will be issued a tag corresponding to the space within which they are registered. 

1. All gear and equipment must be on the boat, trailer, or rack, not on the ground or fence. A suitable dock box or storage container shall be allowed on the ground, within the confines of your space, but must be approved by the Harbormaster. Boats stored on a dolly are acceptable.
2. Every effort should be made to eliminate halyards slapping masts.
3. All boats must be maintained in a seaworthy and presentable condition acceptable to the Harbormaster and must be sailed at least two (2) separate times within a twelve (12) month period unless prior arrangements have been made with the Harbormaster. All trailers must be operable in the event a boat needs to be moved for Yard maintenance or an emergency.
4. The ends of the rows are not designated rental spaces and shall be left free of racks, boats, trailers, or any other odd items.
5. Major repair work in the Yard is only permitted in the maintenance area, and no work shall be done or loud noise after sundown.
6. Any vessel or trailer not in compliance with these rules is subject to impound and forfeiture of Yard space at the discretion of the Harbormaster. Upon impound double storage fees will apply until the non-compliant vessel or trailer is brought into compliance or an agreement is reached with the Harbormaster. Those noncompliant vessels with outstanding Club charges/fees are subject to lien proceedings and may be sold or disposed of by LWSC to satisfy the outstanding debt.

Dry stored boats ordinarily may not, without prior approval of the Harbormaster, be left in the water overnight at the docks or launching areas. 

1. Empty trailers must be stored in their assigned spaces.
2. Unattended vehicles must be parked in vehicle parking lot areas. Do not under any circumstances leave a vehicle unattended in an aisle as you may be blocking access to another renter’s space.
3. Areas marked "Keep Clear" or "No Parking" are so marked for good reasons. Do not put a car or trailer there! 

1. Paint spraying is only permitted in the maintenance area.
2. Oily rags, inflammables in open containers, and other fire hazards may not be kept in the Yard.
3. Do not stand under, ride on, work on, or wash a boat suspended from the hoist.
4. The harbor is a “NO WAKE” zone; speed shall be controlled to prevent wakes. The vehicular speed in the Yard is 5 mph.
5. The use of portable barbecues, braziers or other portable cooking devices in the Yard is prohibited.
6. Do not store or use, generate, or dispose of any hazardous materials on the property, except for small personal amounts of cleaning products and solvents, fiberglass, resin, and similar boat maintenance products which shall remain in their original packaging. 

• Every effort shall be taken by all renters to extend the utmost courtesy to your fellow renters. This includes the coiling up of hoses when you are finished using them, even if you found them uncoiled. 
• Music and radio volume should be kept at a level that does not bother Club neighbors or other people in the yard who may not enjoy your particular musical taste or root for the same sports team. 
• Every effort shall be made to maintain a clean and presentable Yard. This includes picking up debris and your garbage, properly disposing of same and recycling whenever possible. 
• Do not block an aisle by parking a vehicle in the middle of it. 

• There shall be no solicitation for business purposes, advertising except for “for sale” or other approved signs, or commercial activity in the Yard.
