PCYC offers a comprehensive boat storage program, including both in-water and on-land storage.

Winter Storage
Winter storage for your yacht is available to all Members (whether moored or not). Storage charges include haulout and launch, a bottom spray, cradle storage (provided the cradle is collapsible) and mast stepping and un-stepping, if required. Haulout and launch are within specified time periods published by the beginning of April and September. Should you decided to be hauled or launched outside the specified period, you may incur an additional charge. An effort will be made to accommodate specific requests, please contact the Harbourmaster.

Dinghy Storage
A dinghy (yacht tender) may be stored in your slip, provided it is properly secured and poses no danger to the docks or your slip partner. However, if the dinghy extends beyond the end of the boat, or requires that the yacht be tied farther from the dock than would be normal, then the mooring fee will be adjusted accordingly. If you wish to store your dinghy on the land, there are racks provided in the dry-sail area (south of the main gate). These are available at a modest charge. Please fill out an application at the Communications Centre

Dockyard Power
During the winter storage period, power is available from 0800h to 1600h, with the provison that the owner, or his representative, must be on board at all times that the boat is plugged in. Boats found plugged in after 1600h, in the dockyard, will be un-plugged.

Mast Stepping & Un-stepping
The Club has a large mast crane located at the north end of the property. The crane is to be operated by Harbour Staff only. Masts are stepped and un-stepped by appointment. (7days a week during peak periods). Charges for mast stepping and unstepping are included with winter storage. For boats not wintering on land with the Club, there is a charge per foot LOA. (See the Harbourmaster for current rates.) Members can make an appointment through the Communications Centre. Your boat should be at the crane area by the scheduled time. You are responsible for doing and/or undoing the boat’s rigging. Harbour Staff will give instructions and operate the crane. When un-stepping, please make sure the sails and boom are removed before coming to the crane. When stepping, the boat should be prepared in advance. For further instruction please contact the Harbourmaster.

Mast Storage
Mast racks are provided at the south side of the dock yard. These racks are of various sizes, please use one of a length appropriate to your mast. Booms should be stored in the boat and not on the mast rack. Once a mast is un-stepped it will be placed on a mast dolly. You then wheel the dolly away from the crane area, place the mast on the
saw-horses provided, return the dolly to the crane, and then as soon as possible, strip the mast and place it on the appropriate rack. For extremely large masts, the Club has a mast lifter to assist in placing the mast in the racks. If this is required, please contact the Harbour Staff when ready. Many members like to store their mast in a plastic sleeve.
The plastic sleeves can be purchased from the Harbour Staff.

Cradle Storage
Summer cradle and trailer storage is available, provided the cradles are collapsed. There is no charge for this storage provided the cradle or trailer was used for boat storage at the Club the previous winter. If such is not the case, please fill out a drysail/ summer storage application available from the Communications Centre. A fee will apply.
