Testing and Tagging of Shore Power Leads
|
It is a requirement of South of Perth Yacht Club that all vessels with a shore power lead are to have their lead tested and tagged once a year. Compliance expiry dates for all member's electrical cords was 1 January 2019. For all of those members who are yet to have their lead tested and tagged, the club electrician Doug Smith is available to do testing and tagging for a small charge. Doug is located on the grounds of SoPYC and is the owner of Coffee Point Marine Services. His contact details and opening hours are below.
|
|
Coffee Point Marine Services. Phone: 9364 9409
|
|
Monday to Friday 8am – 5pm
|
Alternatively, you are welcome to use your own electrician. Your electrician must provide their own tag for your lead. Your tagged lead then needs to be taken to the SoPYC office where a SoPYC tag can be obtained and applied to your lead next to the tag applied by your electrician.

Boat Ramp
|
|
It is important that all boat ramp users adhere to the Club rules when recovering their vessels from the water and putting them back on trailers. Unfortunately, in recent weeks a number of members have been seen and spoken to about, “driving” their vessels on to trailers when retrieving vessels from the water. Driving vessels onto trailers on the boat ramp is strictly prohibited. The damage that the thrust of the motor's propellers underwater does to the ramp leads to undermining the ramp leading to expensive repair bills. There is also the safety issue for the boat operators and people in the close vicinity of the vessel itself.

Racing Yacht Wash-down - Special Rates
|
We are pleased to advise skippers of racing yachts and twilight participants that we are able to offer a special rate for hull wash-downs. The wash-down is for a lift and drop and a 30 minute clean of the hull and can be organised by telephoning the bosun to arrange a time that is convenient for the skipper and fits into the boat lifting bookings. Should the wash-down be longer than 30 minutes, the rate will increase in $15 increments per quarter hour.
|
|
For racing yachts less than 8m the price is $45.00;
|
|
8m- less than 10m the price is $60.00;
|
|
10m- less than 12m the price is $75.00;
|
|
12m- less than 15m the price is $90.00;

|
and for vessels 15m – less than 18m the price is $100.
