Dear reader,

LATEST NEWS

Pens and Moorings Updates


Shore Power Cables

As at this time, we have only about one third of all vessels that connect to the clubs power supply, that have had their shore power cables tested and tagged. All vessels connecting to shore power must have a current Club test and tag. This is available complimentary, from Doug at Fire & Electrical Services located at Coffee Point Marine Services next to the hard stand area if you bring your cable in. The club does not accept any other testing and tagging other than that done by its Club contractor.

If you are unable to get your cable into Fire & Electrical Services for any reason, we are happy to organise this for you for a small fee of $50.00 to cover our costs. Just send an email to Jess at secretary@sopyc.com.au and she will organise it.

Please make sure that you get your cable into Doug before June 30th as we will begin disconnecting vessels after this time and there is nothing worse than melted ice cream in the freezer.



Marina Safety Compliance

We currently have more than 120 vessels in our marina with either no Marina Safety Compliance or with an overdue Marina Safety Compliance. For those of you who compete, please be aware that if your vessel does not have a current Marina Safety Compliance certificate, you will not be able to compete. New members who have still have not had their compliance done risk losing their pens. Below is a list of the compliance officers to contact, to get you compliance done immediately.

  • John Mewett 0438 176 819
