- Use of marine slipway for period beyond normal requirements of launch or haul out requires prior approval of the MSM.
- Boats hauled on marine slipway, other than an “emergency”, must use a cradle or have prior approval of the MSM.
- For launch or haul, boat owner or their representative must deliver their boat to and from the slip. If Yard crew provides this service, labour/work boat rate of $62 per hour (minimum ½ hr) will be charged.
- Hauling of heavy boats must have prior approval of the COM. Approved vessel list is in AYC Office.
- Scheduling haul outs of wet stored boats in Spring is done with the office.

Members must complete a Launch/Haul Out Waiver & Request form. Members must also have current member profile and boating services information on file, as well as proof of current insurance showing member name, vessel name, insurance company name, coverages and expiry date. All forms are available from the MSM, the AYC Office or in the Members Area of this web site.
Your boat must be unlocked if you or your representative can not be present during your launch/haul time. If Staff needs to move your boat and it is locked, they cannot be held responsible for any damage to your vessel. Ropes and fenders should be placed in your boat in full view and be easily accessible to the Yard Staff. Extra fees are charged if these items are not available and Club lines or fenders need to be used.
Assignment of marinas, dry storage & lockers is based on a waiting list. Positions are assigned based on the date of the request. The order of the assignment of a marina also depends on boat type and dimensions. If you are called about availability of a service and decline, your name will be moved to the bottom of the list. The marina change list takes priority over new marina requests. Please contact the MSM if you have a marina request.
