Boat/Equipment Storage Application
**Important Notice:** Submitting this application does **not** guarantee storage space. Storage at Frankston Yacht Club (FYC) is highly limited and offered based on specific criteria outlined below.
Equipment storage at FYC is designed to support the development of sailing skills and facilitate participation in Club racing. Storage allocation is reviewed annually based on availability, the prior season's allocation, volunteer participation, and your regular involvement in Club racing.
All successful applicants must comply with the FYC Boat Storage Policy. Storage is available only to current financial members, and if your application is successful, the relevant storage fees will be added to your 2024/25 membership fees.

- Volunteer Requirement: Members are expected to contribute to key events, such as Discover Sailing Day and Family and Friends Day.
- Annual Term: Storage agreements are valid for a maximum of 1 year, running from September 1st to August 31st, and must be reapplied for annually.
- No Guarantees: Submission of this application does not guarantee storage space. The Club reserves the right to deny applications or request removal of equipment as per policy.
- Fees: Storage fees will be determined annually and may be adjusted based on equipment impact on storage space.

3. Storage spaces must be kept tidy and adhere to the boundaries assigned.
4. The Club reserves the right to relocate equipment and may terminate the storage agreement if policy conditions are not met.

The Club may terminate this storage agreement at any time for reasons including, but not limited to, insufficient active use of equipment, failure to participate in maintenance activities, or non-compliance with the policy. If terminated, members must remove their equipment within 14 days. Failure to do so may result in the equipment being deemed "abandoned," allowing the Club to dispose of it as necessary.
