Preparing Your Boat
For ideas on the preparation of your boat, the Docks, Harbor and Launch Committee has collected into one concise document. This is not the end-all/be-all document for hurricane preparation for your boat, however, it is a great resource if you would like to know what you can do to begin preparing your vessel. All ideas for improvement of this document are welcomed.

Preparing the Club House
As storms threaten our club, we need to be prepared to take proactive measures to protect our facility. In support of this goal, the House and Grounds Committee has prepared quick-reference procedures for each stage of storm preparation. These procedures are available here on the website, in the Club Operating Manual, and on the downstairs south wall of the clubhouse (east of the regatta room). These procedures will help mitigate damage to the club, personnel, members and guests.
