BERTH LICENCE
|
| 26 |
|
In the interests of safety, Berth Licences may
only be held by Members with a proven competence to handle their
boat in the close confines of PCM to the
satisfaction of the
Chairman of the marina/ Yard Sub-Committee or an Officer
of the
Club nominated by him. This consideration applies to all persons
to whom the Member may at times delegate
responsibility for
taking charge of the handling of the vessel in PCM. |
| 27 |
|
Each berth has apre-defined size. All boats
will not exceed that designated size for any reason. All
berth-holders may have their boats measured on land to
verify their stated dimensions. |
| 28 |
|
No changes inberth positions are allowed
except by order of the Secretary. |
| 29 |
|
No moving up ordown in berth size except via
the waiting list. |
| 30 |
|
No berth should have a boat LESS than 5ft of
its designated size in it, at any time. |
| 31 |
|
If, when offered, a berth is not satisfactory
in any way then the advice should be not to takeup the offer,
but to wait for the next available berth. |
| 32 |
|
No Member may have or share two boats in the
marina, thus a Member may only have one licence for
one berth in
the marina. These Licences are granted annually. |
| 33 |
|
Nothing in the Licence shall entitle a Licence
Holder to the exclusive use of a particular
berth. All vessels
in the marina maybe moved by the Club to any other part of the
marina from time to time asthey see fit. |
| 34 |
|
The Licence Holder shall not transfer or
assign the berth allocated to him/ her. If a Member wishes to
relinquish a berth, two months’ notice is to be given. No
refund
of berthing fees is to be paid until a berth has been re-let.
The incoming berth holder will be invoiced
for fees from the date
of PCM confirming (the Member’s) verbal acceptance ofthe vacant
berth. |
| 35 |
|
The club reservesthe right to cancel the
berth licence of any Member who is deemed by the
Committee to be
in breach of these conditions. |
| |
|
SHARED BOATS IN BERTHS
|
| 36 |
|
The Annual Licence will be in the name of one
voting Member who is the owner or majority owner
of the vessel,
not a family or minority owner. Where equal shares are held,
one of the owners only is to be nominated as the Licence Holder.
Members who are part owners and are not the
nominated Licence
Holder may elect to lodge a separate deposit and join the
Waiting
List. It should be understood that when the nominated Licence
Holder ceases to require the berth, it would
be offered to the
Member at the top of the Waiting List. A Berth Licence will not
be passed to the part owner, spouse or family Members unless they
are at the top of the appropriate category of the Waiting List. |
| 37 |
|
If, before departure, the Licence Holder
notifies the Club of his intended absence formore than 60 hours
he will then be entitled to 50% of any casual licence
fees collected by the Club in his absence. Casual berth fees will
be collected on all occasions except where
waived at the
discretion of the marina and Yard Committee. |
38 |
|
Berthing fees will be collected 12 months in
advance. Prolonged absence from the berth does not entitle the
Member to arebate. However, PCM Bye-Law 37 will
apply. |
| 39 |
|
Absence of the Member’s boat from his berth
for more than 364 days, will lead to forfeiture
of the berth.
|
| 40 |
|
The Member shall leave the keys of his vessel
in the care of the Club office. (This is for staff use in
emergency, e.g.fire, seawater ingress). |
| 41 |
|
Berth Licence Holders may use the slipway at
no charge to launch and recover their own
tenders. Power is
available from lockable, metered sockets. Trips
witches limit the
supply to about 5 amps per boat. |
| 42 |
|
Except in the case of vessels using a
re-circulating or holding tank system, lavatories aboard
vessels
must not be used whilst the vessel is in the Haven. Lavatory
facilities are provided ashore. |
| 43 |
|
Dates for slipping or re-launching cannot be
guaranteed. |
| 44 |
|
Berth Holders may not make any permanent
attachments to the pontoons without prior
authorisation from the
Club Secretary. Unauthorised fixings will be removed and any
damage to the pontoon made good at the berth holder’s expense. |
| |
|

GENERALBYE-LAWS FOR
MARINA,YARD AND SHED
Byelaws governing theuse of
the Club’s premises excluding the Clubhouse
| |
|
INSURANCE
REQUIREMENTAND DISCLAIMER |
| 1 |
|
If the Club is negligent or in breach of
contract, either itself or through its employees,
then it accepts
that it will be liable to Members for any damages or
lost property and legally recoverable as a result and it does not
feel that it is right to try and limit that liability. That
acknowledgement does not extend to the acts or omissions of
individual Members acting as individuals rather than on behalf of
the Club. |
| 2 |
|
The Club does not accept liability for
negligence or breach of contract by any other party
whether they
be a Member, licensee, visitor, guest of another Member
orotherwise. The mere fact that a Memberor his property is
damaged or, in the case of property, lost or stolen whilst
on the
Club premises (and in the absence of negligence or breach of
contractby or on behalf of the Club) does not mean that any
liability falls on the Club. |
| 3 |
|
The Club’s policy is to maintain reasonable
insurance arrangements to enable it to meet anyliabilities,
which properly fall upon it for negligence or breach
of contract. There is, however, a limit
to the availability of
such insurance. There may be economic or other restrictions
making it unattractive or impossible to maintain all the cover
which the Club would like. The Club’s insurance will only cover
its liability and so every Member should ensure that they
maintain their own insurances and be prepared to claim on those. |
| 4 |
|
It must be remembered that the Club’s premises
are, quite properly, frequented by people
who are outside the
control of the Club. The Club is not liable for the acts or
omissions of such people. |
| 5 |
|
The Club has made various security
arrangements to protect its premises and property and
the property and other belongings of Members. The Club cannot
guarantee the effectiveness of these arrangements or
that they
will always be in place. Members must therefore take their own
precautions. |
| 6 |
|
Members are asked to bear in mind that we are
all Members of the Club. The Club is a Members’ Club and not
a commercial organisation. Many Members
give their time and
effort to the Club, exercising considerable dedication indoing
so. Please do not forget this if ever you should feel
aggrieved. |
| 7 |
|
It shall be held arequirement that the owner
of any vessel or craft shall maintain insurance
with reputable
insurer in respect of:
a) Vessel coverage in an amount of not less than the full market
value.
b) General third party cover to a limit any one occurrence:
MINIMUM OF £2,000,000.
All such insurances shall be so written to provide that the
Insurers shall have no rights of recovery against PCM,
Chalcolithic Enterprises Limited,
the Committee and
employees of the Club. It is a requirement of the Club that a
copy of the current insurance certificate is lodged with the main
office for reference. |

|
The use of the Club premises for carrying out
any work on vessels is reserved for Members

other contractors to work on the premises must be made to the
Secretary prior to their commencement on site. The conditions
under which the contractors are permitted to work are available
from the Secretary. Boat keys held in the main reception
will not be given to Contractors unless the Member has given the
Office Staff prior permission. A Member wishing to
have a friend

seasonal period as, in the Club’s opinion, tide,
weather conditions and available facilities allow and in such
sequence as to avoid moving other vessels for this purpose. If a

out of sequence, which requires other vessels to be moved, or
special facilities, this will only be carried out at the expense
of the Member and at the Club’s discretion. |

| 24 |
|
All sailing boats with fin keels shall
provide, or hire from the Club, legs or cradles suitable

must not be left in the Yard during the summer period and must be
removed by the Member. All Trailer boats must be removed from
the Yard at the end of the season. Double
storage may be charged
if cradles, legs or trailer boats remain on the
premises more
than 7 days after due date. |

them from time to time

| 27 |
|
When a Member sells his vessel to a person who
is not a Member of the Club, the purchaser
shall remove the
vessel from the Club’s premises within fourteen days or the
club
reserves the right to remove it to a commercial marina or yard
at the total risk and expense of the Member. |
