We are receiving reports that several dock boxes have gone missing. Slip #2 had their dock box taken. We are looking for information concerning anything someone may have seen regarding people that appear to be working on a dock box at the club. At the time of this write-up, we are trying to get confirmation as to whether or not other boxes where stolen or just removed by the owner. It appears slip #88 has had their box removed.

Please check your slips to see if your dock boxes have been taken. If you find that they have been stolen, please file a police report and let us know too. This will help us to get more regular patrols of our area. As always, keep a look out for anything strange or just doesn’t feel right and report it to a SSYC Board of Director member. Call the police if you believe a criminal act is taking place.

Anyone with information about the missing dock boxes, please report it to, Kris Martek, Director of Violations (734) 495-0766 or any SSYC Board of Directors member. All our contact information is on the website. We appreciate any help you may give on this matter.

If you plan to rent your slip, make sure you have your renter sign a “Slip Lease Agreement” (SLA). We’ve added a SLA document to our “Documents & Standards” section of the website to help our shareholders and our renters. When entering into any type of rental arrangement you should ensure that you have a valid contract to outline your rights and responsibilities as a landlord or a tenant. This helps both parties to understand what is expected when renting a slip at Sunset Shores Yacht Club (SSYC).

This SLA document helps you by providing the essential ingredients to the arrangement. However, bear in mind that all shareholders and renters are conducting a private transaction between themselves and SSYC has no responsibilities or obligations to the rental agreement. The shareholder is ultimately responsible for the conduct of the renter since, per our By-Laws, SSYC only recognizes the shareholder. The renter is a guest on the property to SSYC. By using the SLA agreement, it helps both parties to protect themselves from issues that may crop up.

The SLA document is available to download in both PDF and Microsoft Word format (in case you would like to edit the document for a specific need). The document is meant only as a guide and is strongly recommended to all shareholders that want to rent their slip.

Disclaimer: SSYC has provided the SLA as a curtesy and claims no legal obligations whatsoever to the parties attached to the SLA agreement.

Sunset Shores Yacht Club (SSYC) needs a trim. On May 10, 2016 we’d like volunteers to help us edge SSYC’s property. If you can help us out, please plan to be there at 10:00am. Also, if you have your own trimmer, please bring it to help speed up the process.

Leading the project is Operations Director, Stan Musial. If you have any questions, please contact, Stan.

Please note, SSYC lives and breathes on our volunteers so thank you to all that help us with these projects. It truly helps us make SSYC the best yacht club in the Saginaw Bay.
