More details about “How it works”

• A use is defined as a time window. We use three time windows: 0800–1200; 1230–1630; 1630–30 minutes before Sunset.
• Reservations for uses are done through our website. We provide you with a login name and password. You can make reservations up to two weeks in advance. You will receive an email confirmation of your reservation which is also sent to the office. You will notice that the boats are reserved by Northern Breezes Sailing School for class times. We cancel school reservations if classes are not viable ten days before the first class session.
• Memberships are annual: When you sign up in the middle of the sailing season, your membership continues into the next sailing season and finishes one year from your start date. So, if you have leftover “uses” from one season, they wrap-around into the next until your membership ends.
• We provide all boat club members a booklet with detailed checklists and instructions on how to operate each of the boats and, in particular, the outboard engines. If all else fails, we provide a couple of phone numbers to call.
• We hold a facility and boat indoctrination for all members each spring and for each member who signs up for an annual membership during the season.
• Please tell us anything which is wrong with a boat, dock or the facility. This helps us keep your experience happy and pleasant!
