Additional Requirements

Program Terms*

In the current season after much discussion and consideration, it has been decided that a $250.00 (plus HST) fee will be required of new members to have a one-time ride check on Sea Key (or her replacement) and or Voila (defined as a supervised ride with a qualified instructor to confirm skill levels). Please refer to the Co-Op membership policy and procedure manual for guidance. If you are new to the ABYC Co-op membership please only pay for the $250 ride check plus HST for now. Once you have passed your ride check the balance of your membership will be due.

For new 2024 applicants the link will be up once we have our returning members registered.

There are additional fees for ride checks for each of the following Destinee and Enigma. These two boats require further qualifications. Delphinus requires you to have Intermediate Cruising or the equivalent. Members may be required to have further instruction.

Certifications*

Please remember that Transport Canada requires by law that the operator of a power vessel have a Proof Of Competency. If you are the person in charge of the vessel, you are the operator. As such, you need to have obtained either Basic Cruising or a Pleasure Craft Operator Card. ABYC is in Toronto Harbour. The Toronto Harbour regulations require you to have your Power Vessel Operator Permit (aka the Harbour License). As the operator of the vessel and as a resident of the Harbour, if you get pulled over by the police, you will need to show them your proof of competency and your harbour license. ABYC also requires you to have your Basic Cruising and the Radio Operator Certificate (aka VHF radio) to be the operator of the vessel. We will ask you to send copy of Basic Cruising and ROC with your application. If you do not have Basic Cruising, please provide additional information demonstrating your boat handling proficiency for consideration. For those currently in the process of obtaining their Radio Operator Certificate, please let us know and we will see if temporary accommodation can be made. Send in your Radio Operator Certificate with your application. Send in your Basic Cruising or provide additional information demonstrating your boat handling proficiency for consideration.

I acknowledge the certification statement.

Code of Conduct*

This section was initiated by the Board of Directors and presented to the General Membership for approval. Accordingly, any amendments changing the intent of the policy must be ratified by the General Membership. Principles: The club was formed in 1932 for the purpose of advancing the sport of yachting in all its forms. ABYC is a working club, which depends on the cooperation of all members for the maintenance of the club and its facilities and for ensuring an enjoyable communal environment for all members and their guests.
To this end, The Community has the right to:

Enjoy the facilities and programs of ABYC and
the sport of sailing and boating in a welcoming environment

Be treated with respect, dignity and consideration

A civil and honest environment free from discrimination and harassment

A place where all opinions are presented and considered with respect

An environment where property is treated with care and maintained in a respectful way

Be part of a community of sailors which abides by the rules, regulations and traditions of the sport

An environment where everyone feels safe both on and off the water.

The Community has the responsibility to:

Act in a civil, respectful and welcoming manner

Behave ethically and honestly.

Maintain decorum

Respect ABYC property and the property of others

Observe the best practices and rules of sailing and boating

Be mindful of their personal safety and the safety of others

To report when they observe, or are affected by,
any violation of the Code of Conduct.

Scope: This code applies to all members, guests, their children and staff of ABYC: while on ABYC club property when participating in an ABYC sponsored or sanctioned event either on or off the water; when utilizing reciprocal privileges afforded to members at another club; or when representing ABYC. Members have the responsibility to inform their children and guests of appropriate behaviour and may be held accountable when children or guests violate these principles. Staff should report any violations of the Code of Conduct to the Club Manager, who shall report to the Senior Vice-Commodore. Members should report any violations of the Code of Conduct to the Senior Vice-Commodore.

I agree to the code of conduct.

Statement of Membership Liability Waiver and Acceptance of Fee Structure*

Ashbridge’s Bay Yacht Club (“Club”) shall not be liable for any damages arising from personal injury, property loss or damage, sustained by the Member in attending in the Club and using Club facilities. The Member assumes full responsibility for any personal injury, property loss or damage which may be sustained by the Member in, on or about the Club facilities and hereby fully and forever releases and discharges the Club, its directors (solely in their capacity as directors), agents and employees from any and all claims present and future, whether the same be known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated resulting from or arising out of the Member’s use of the Club facilities, including but without limitation, any claims for personal injury, property loss or damage arising out of the negligence of the Club or any of its Members, agents and employees or any other persons using the Club facilities as Guests or invitees to the extent that such assumption of risk and waiver of claims does not discharge, release or relieve the Member’s insurance carriers under policies covering the Member or his/her property. If my application is accepted, I agree to honour my commitment above and to abide by the Club’s By-laws, Policies and Regulations including payment of all applicable fees and assessments. Everyone who operates a power-driven boat in Canada needs proof of competency - something that shows they understand the rules of the water and how to safely operate a boat.
