USE OF CLUB DINGHIES

32. No club dinghy may be signed out except by a qualified CFBKYC adult member whose name appears on the authorized list posted in the OOD book, or by a qualified visiting member of another CFB Yacht Club upon surrendering his Club membership card. Qualifications may include: CYA Certification to White Sail 3 standard or higher; certification by CFBKYC to White Sail 3 equivalent; or, other qualifications as recognized by a CFBKYC Flag Officer as evidence of competence to sail dinghies, and noted by the Flag Officer in the OOD Log.

SIGN-OUT OF CLUB DINGHIES

33. Club dinghies must be signed out by the member in the OOD Log.

34. A sailing plan must be noted on the Sign-out Sheet, to include at a minimum the anticipated area and direction of sail from CFBKYC, number of crew, and the anticipated time of return.

35. Skippers are personally responsible to ensure that all safety equipment required by law is carried in the dinghy. Each person in the dinghy must wear a properly fitted Personal Flotation Device (PFD) at all times.

36. At the end of a sail, the skipper must return all equipment to its proper place and must ensure that the boat, dinghy shack, and dinghy compound are left in good condition. Wet sails are to be loosely spread in the dinghy shack, and arrangements made to properly fold and pack them away when dry. Any damages or deficiencies, and surrounding circumstances, must be noted in the OOD Log. The member may be held financially responsible for losses or damages if negligence is found.

CLUB DINGHIES SAILING RESTRICTIONS

37. All dinghies are to be back at the Dinghy Dock by 8 p.m. unless prior approval of a Flag Officer is obtained, and in any event must be back at the dock before current boating regulations require navigation lights to be shown.. Approval for use beyond 8 p.m. must be noted in the OOD Log by the approving Flag Officer and an OOD designated to remain on duty until the dinghy returns.

38. No CFBKYC dinghies are permitted east of Milton Island or west of the Penitentiary Shoal Buoy, without the prior approval of a Flag Officer who must note that approval in the OOD Log. No sailing shall be permitted if in the opinion of the senior Flag Officer present, the CI, or the OOD, weather conditions are too adverse (winds over 15 knots, high waves, or a severe weather system in or near the area).
