The Devonport Yacht Club has 69 storage lockers on the clubhouse site. These are available to Full Members Only for storage of equipment related to yacht club membership. In general this means Dinghies and related equipment, equipment related to haulage activities and other possible uses agreed by the general committee. Please note priority list outlined below
Safety Rules around locker use
1. No inflammables to be stored in lockers. This is a requirement of our insurance policy. This includes fuel containers, flares, paints, oil and anything else that would promote a fire.
2. Outboard Motors: Storage of outboard motors is permitted (approved by our Insurance Company) but not encouraged as obviously the fuel is inflammable. Please note your intention to store an OB on your application form so we can track this. Also store with care, preferably upright and ensure that fuel cannot leak out. The club may revisit this in future.
3. No personal locks. Lock must be the official DYC padlock as supplied by the club locksmith, presently Scott Richardson.
4. All contents must belong to the renter.
The Yacht Club reserves the right to inspect locker contents to ensure compliance
Priority List for the allocation of lockers
1) Storage of a dinghy or other and equipment used to access a moored boat or function as boat tender.
2) Storage of equipment associated with a boat hauled for maintenance.
3) Storage of boat related items where the boat may be kept elsewhere such as in a marina.
4) Items retained after a boat has been disposed of. This will be for a limited grace period only to allow time for alternative arrangements. Vacate on request.
5) Multiple lockers, where supply allows, may be allocated where one is used for a tender for a boat moored and used in Torpedo Bay and a second is used to store haulage related equipment.
Multiple lockers are not a right and are allocated at the discretion of the officer responsible.
6) Other non-boat related items. In this case use of the locker must be understood to be temporary and the locker must be vacated on request.
The Yacht Club reserves the right to ask a member holding a type 4 or 5 locker to vacate the locker where it is needed for types 1, 2 or 3 above. Such a request will take into account conditions such as length of time without active use of items in the locker and locker holders activity at the club.
Relinquishing Lockers
To relinquish use of the locker the Site Master must be informed, the locker cleared and cleaned, outstanding rental paid and the key returned. The holder remains responsible for the locker until these steps are completed. Lockers can only be allocated by the Site Master and cannot be made available to another member directly.
Lockers allocated for Yacht Club use
A number of lockers are allocated for specific Yacht Club Functions such as storage of haulage and maintenance equipment, Sailing Committee and Clubhouse Captain items.
Maintenance issues
Any issues of maintenance should be referred to the site manager in a timely manner.
The DYC reserves the right to issue or withdraw the use of a locker for any reason.
