All persons must wear life jackets while on board with no exceptions. The skipper (member) is responsible to see that this rule is enforced for all guests. Maximum 4 persons on the craft at any one time. Instructor excluded.
Alcohol and Drugs are Strictly Forbidden!
Smoking is not allowed on board the vessels!
Before taking the boat out, insure that the equipment is all there and there is no damage to the boat before you leave the dock. If missing equipment or damage is found you must let the Club manager(s) know by phone so the problem can be corrected before you sail. No boat is to be taken out without all the proper equipment in good working order. If you do not report damage or missing equipment, you will be held responsible for any replacement or repair costs. These costs will be taken from your damage deposit.
After your scheduled sail the club member must clean the boat and report any missing and/or damaged equipment.
Damage due to normal wear and usage is expected and will not be the club member’s responsibility to repair.
Club Sail members may book one sailing session per season in advance as soon as dues are paid up. All other bookings are limited to one at a time and no more than 7 days ahead.
Each session will be four hours long and the boats must be back and clean 15 minutes before the next session. You must return even if a reservation was not scheduled for the next session. If upon your return no member has come to sail, you may then continue to sail into the next session. This is to allow all members to book last minute.
Sessions will be from,
Morning: a half hour after sunrise to 1130
Day: 1200 to 1630
Evening: 1700 to half hour before sunset.
During the later part of September sessions may be reduced to 3 hours due to diminishing daylight hours. The boat in all cases must be at the dock 1/2 hour before sunset.
Persons breaking any rules may forfeit their memberships with no refunds on user fees. Damage deposit will be refunded.
Remember!!!!
Cub Sail Superior in Thunder Bay provides boats so that our members have a way to develop their skills. We expect you to treat the boats and fellow members with respect. Those who don't will not remain members.
