[cid:d2c12ab9-6a89-476b-b608-2f46d27c1da6] Dear PYC Members, After significant discussion at the monthly meeting, the Board of Directors determined that due to stringent Covid related restrictions the clubhouse, deck and bathrooms (including the grills and picnic tables) need to remain closed until further notice. Members who would like to store their boats on PYC Club Property may do so effective Monday, June 22, 2020. Please remember boats must be under 21’ and the Club is not responsible or liable for the condition, maintenance or policing of member-owned boats. The yard will be tight this summer because the North and South docks will be in the yard. So please, only bring your boat if you plan to use it. Boats are not to be “stored” on Club property. Members’ boats stored on PYC Club Property must have a PYC sticker affixed to the stern. If your boat does not have a sticker, contact Rear Commodore, Corey Manero, at rearcommodore@pettipaug.org to obtain one. Include your postal address in your email. As a club run by volunteers, we cannot monitor, nor be responsible for member behaviors when on the premises. Out of concern for fellow members and per the State of CT mandates, the PYC Board asks that the Usage & Access Guidelines for PYC Club Property below be consistently respected and followed when on Club grounds. Use of Club Property is at each member’s own risk. We ask that members please be patient, understanding, and flexible in these new times as we continue to make updates and guideline modifications based on new information from the State of CT, OSHA, the US Sailing Association, the CDC and our insurance provider. Protecting the health and safety of all involved, and following all the required protocols, is our highest priority. Thank you for your support and abiding by the Usage & Access Guidelines for PYC Club Property going forward.
