Club Closure Reminder – All boats must be out before November 1, 2024 –

As a reminder, all boats must be removed from SSYC by November 1st. All perimeter gates will be chained shut on November 1st and all the club locks will be changed. The main entry and exit gate will remain open for a very short period afterwards for a short period of time so that contractors can complete final winter closure activities.

Also, the club water is now off. Restrooms, pump outs, laundry and the fish cleaning stations are all closed and unavailable for use.

Winter Dock Height Set – It is the Owners Responsibility to Adjust Their Dock to the Proper Height – see post for further information – posted

Winter dock height has been determined. Please measure the distance of your dock height to the level of the water and compare to SSYC’s dock 180. (Your dock can be higher but not lower.) Please note that the water level fluctuates constantly so the measurement and adjustment must take place within a short period of time. It is the dock owners responsibility to adjust their slip or make arrangements to have the dock adjusted in preparation for winter. Please note that this needs to be done prior to the club closing the last weekend of October.
