Dogs
Spring Lake Yacht Club is a family friendly environment and we value that pets are part of the family. Dogs are currently tolerated at the club with the following understandings:

1. Dogs are to be leashed and under the control of their owners at all times
2. Owners will clean up after their pets
3. No dogs allowed in the clubhouse at any time
4. Do not allow your dog to relieve themselves anywhere surrounding the clubhouse, boats, or beach

Long Term Camping
No camping for more than 4 consecutive days is allowed on SLYC property. It is against the terms of our lease to use the property as a campground. Camping electrical hookups are provided for short-term regatta camping only and use should be cleared with the Regatta Host or Commodore prior to arrival.

Campers and motor homes are not to be stored on SLYC property. 

Guests
We love guests! Please bring your friends to the club and encourage them to join. We are a friendly, inviting bunch and would love to meet them. With that in mind please observe the following:

1. The club facilities are located on property owned by the Village of Spring Lake. The land is leased on a non-exclusive basis. Although the SLYC officers do not have the authority to require non-members to lease the grounds, they do have the authority to require non-members to lease the club buildings, docks, ramps, and other improvements.
2. Each season non-members may attend only one dinner party when invited by a member of the club.

Swimming
Any children swimming from the SLYC premises must have proper supervision. Spring Lake Yacht Club DOES NOT provide lifeguards. Swimming or diving is not permitted in front of the docks.

Boat Trailers - See the trailer policy here

1. All boat trailers stored on SLYC grounds must be clearly marked for ownership. Trailers may not be stored on asphalt parking areas. They must be stored in the designated area at the top of the hill.
2. Boat trailers, when permitted, may be used on the furthest east ramp of the club. The C/E scow dolly ramp should not be used because the tracks can be easily damaged.

Boat Docking (Harbormaster)
No boat may stay at an SLYC dock for more than 4 consecutive days. It is against the terms of our lease to use the property as a marina. Eric Peterson has been appointed Harbormaster and he will ensure that this rule is followed.

Summer Boat Storage

1. Only boats registered to sail in club-sponsored races may be stored on the launching ramp areas and Butterfly beach.
2. No boats are allowed on the swing set beach
3. Ramp/Beach position is determined on a first come, first served basis. In the event of a dispute when two parties arrive at the same time and want the same spot, position will be determined by lowest membership number with lowest number having preference.
   
   Boats are not to be rearranged on ramp/beach without discussing with owners.

Winter Boat Storage
There will be no winter boat storage inside the clubhouse. Any member who wants to leave their boat on club property will do so at their own risk. Boats may not be stored on asphalt parking areas.

Club Improvement Fund
All undesignated gifts to the club will be placed in the Club Improvement Fund.
The fund may be used only for projects approved by the Board of Governors for the betterment of club facilities.
