This enables us to keep a high density of boats within a small space, but does require an understanding of how to moor. The following guidelines should help, but please ask the harbourmaster if you have any questions.<br /> <br /> 1.When there is no boat on a mooring the bridle maintains the integrity of the trot.<br /> <br /> 2.When the boat is on the mooring it takes the place of the bridle, i.e. the mooring strops should be taut and the bridle slack. If the bridle is not slack it is inclined to saw along the side of the boat causing damage to both boat and bridle.<br /> <br /> 3.The mooring should generally be approached into the tide and down wind of the mooring. Once tied fore and aft, motoring the boat into the tide will enable you to further tighten the fore lines, making the bridle go slack. It is advisable to use two lines fore and two lines aft and also to loosely tie up the bridle alongside.<br /> <br /> 4.When leaving the mooring, if there is any wind, you should always arrange to leave so the wind is blowing you away from the bridle. This may necessitate splitting the bridle in the middle and re-joining on the windward side of the boat. Failure to do this may result in getting the bridle caught around the keel, rudder or prop.<br /> <br /> [[File:mooring-bridle.jpg|center]]<br /> <br /> ==GYC Pontoon==<br /> Members are entitled to moor on the GYC pontoon for free during the day. They may moor overnight free for three days in any two week period after which they are charged the fee set out in the current [[Fees and charges|list of fees and charges]]. Members are reminded of the GYC Byelaws: &quot;No craft (including yacht tenders) shall be moored on the pontoon without the permission of the Harbour Master or an Officer of the Club.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==The Yard==<br /> <br /> Our yard is a members' facility not a commercial yard. We have limited space and encourage members to make their stay as short as possible.<br /> <br /> If you wish to work on a longer term project (perhaps a major refurbishment or boat construction) that may take more than a year, you can apply to the committee for 'project status'. This requires a project plan to be submitted, setting out what you plan to do and when. Progress will be reviewed periodically.<br /> <br /> All boats coming into the yard (whether by river or road) may only do so with the Yardmaster's permission. All members wishing to bring their boat into the yard must fill in the on-line application form. Please note that the lift date requested is not guaranteed until confirmed by the yardmaster. Please make contact with the yard team verbally before the day to avoid confusion.<br /> <br /> Every boat-lift application form ''must'' be accompanied by a copy of current and sufficient insurance policy (Byelaws 27c)<br /> <br /> ===Car Parking===<br /> The club has use of car parking just the other side of the footpath as you approach the club by road. Use the spaces on the right hand side (the club side) of the car park as the others are reserved for residents. <br /> <br /> The Yard itself is not a car park. If you plan to leave the premises, please either park your car in our car-park or be sure to drop your car keys in the white post box outside the Harbour Master office. If you leave your car locked-up in the yard please leave a note with a contact number in the window.<br /> <br /> Bear in mind that if your vehicle is parked in the yard it may prevent the use of the lifting equipment and can make it extremely difficult or even impossible to launch or recover other members boats.<br /> <br /> Please, be considerate and treat fellow members as you would like to be treated.<br /> <br /> === Lockers ===<br /> We have a number of large lockers available for use members who have a boat at the club. If you are interested [[Fees_and_Charges|in renting one]], please drop a note to our Yardmaster to see whether there is currently a waiting list. <br /> <br /> ===Trailer boat storage===<br /> A limited number of spaces in the yard have been allocated for long-term storage of trailer boats. If you have a trailer-sailor and would like to keep it in the yard at GYC you can request to be added to the trailer-sailor waiting list. Please contact the Yardmaster.<br /> <br /> __NOAUTHORS__ <br /> __HIDETITLE__<br /> __NOEDITSECTION__ <br /> __NOTOC__<br /> __HIDDENCAT__</div> Roger http://www.greenwichyachtclub.co.uk/w/index.php?title=Join_GYC&diff=1193 Join GYC 2025-10-17T19:36:19Z <p>Roger: Upload 25/26 version of application form.</p> <hr /> <div>=Join GYC=<br /> <br /> Greenwich Yacht Club is a self help club run by volunteers - which helps us keep the [[Fees_and_Charges|membership fees]] low. <br /> <br /> You do not need to own a boat to become a member - see the articles on this website under 'About the club' for more information on club activities that will be available to you as a member. <br /> <br /> We expect all members to muck in and help with the running of the club so the application process asks you to show that you are willing to get involved. The application process has several steps:<br /> <br /> #Download and complete the [[Media:application form.pdf|Application Form]] and return to the [mailto:membership@greenwichyachtclub.co.uk Membership Secretary] OR attend the club on a Tuesday night (club night) and speak to the membership secretary who will be at the desk at the top of the stairs. <br /> #We will then ask potential members to participate in two activities in order to demonstrate their willingness to participate. This would normally be a monthly Work Party where we tidy up the yard or do minor repairs, and a water-based activity.<br /> #After participating in two activities, you will have an interview (informal chat) with two members and we will go through the reverse side of the application form.<br /> #Then your application is approved by the committee, then you will be asked to pay your fees and you become a member!<br /> <br /> __NOAUTHORS__ <br /> __HIDETITLE__<br /> <br /> __NOEDITSECTION__ <br /> __NOTOC__<br /> __HIDDENCAT__</div> Roger http://www.greenwichyachtclub.co.uk/w/index.php?title=File:application_form.pdf&diff=1192 File:application form.pdf 2025-10-17T19:34:30Z <p>Roger: </p> <hr /> <div>Membership application form for year 2025/6</div> Roger http://www.greenwichyachtclub.co.uk/w/index.php?title=Venue_Hire&diff=1191 Venue Hire 2025-10-16T14:54:30Z <p>Roger: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Portal/ContainerOpen|col=1}}<br /> {{Portal/CellOpen|image=true}} <br /> [[File:venue-hire.jpg|center|100%|link=Venue_Hire|Venue_Hire]]<br /> {{Portal/CellClose}} <br /> {{Portal/ContainerClose}}<br /> <br /> '''The Clubhouse''' is a wonderful place to host a private party or event. <br /> &lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> * For non-members, [https://www.greenwichweddingvenues.co.uk please see the events website]<br /> * For members, special terms apply as described below.<br /> &lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> {{CustomTOC|limit=3}} <br /> <br /> ==Venue Hire for Members==<br /> #Members must be a fully paid up member for at least one year to qualify for any discounts on venue hire.<br /> #Any member can only book one event / calendar year.<br /> #No member can book an event on a Saturday unless agreed by the committee<br /> #Members may book an event on behalf of a family member for a Saturday.

On your first visit to the portal you will need to use the '''Reset your password''' link at the bottom of the form in order to set a password and login to your account.<br /> <br /> The portal is the self-help online service for GYC members. Through the portal you can maintain your contact details and other personal information. Boat owners can keep their vessel's details updated, in particular upload their current insurance certificate.<br /> <br /> Boat owners can also raise requests for yard movements. If you want your boat recovered from the river, launched from the yard, or even moved within the yard, we now require the the request be made through the portal. The records of yard movements are in future going to be used for the generation of yard bills.<br /> <br /> If you have any difficulty using the portal please use the https://members.greenwichyachtclub.co.uk/contact link at the foot of all portal pages to report the problem.<br /> <br /> == Events Calendar ==<br /> There is a Google based Events Calendar which you can see under the members corner menu on the left. <br /> ==Merchandise==<br /> <br /> You can order a GYC burgee from [https://www.ensignflags.com/greenwich-y-c.html| Ensign Flags.]<br /> <br /> You can buy [http://www.gyc.uk.net/gyc_custom_clothing_index.htm| GYC branded clothing here.] here, but ignore the link to buy burgees on that page (will be updated shortly to Ensign Flags)<br /> <br /> ==Books recommended by members==<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !

The application process has several steps:<br /> <br /> #Download and complete the [[Media:Application_Form_23Nov21.pdf|Application Form]] and return to the [mailto:membership@greenwichyachtclub.co.uk Membership Secretary] OR attend the club on a Tuesday night (club night) and speak to the membership secretary who will be at the desk at the top of the stairs. Note that the current application form says that the joining fee is £75, it is actually £81. A new, improved form will be available soon but please use this one for now. <br /> #We will then ask potential members to participate in two activities in order to demonstrate their willingness to participate. This would normally be a monthly Work Party where we tidy up the yard or do minor repairs, and a water-based activity.<br /> #After participating in two activities, you will have an interview (informal chat) with two members and we will go through the reverse side of the application form.<br /> #Then your application is approved by the committee, then you will be asked to pay your fees and you become a member!<br /> <br /> __NOAUTHORS__ <br /> __HIDETITLE__<br /> <br /> __NOEDITSECTION__ <br /> __NOTOC__<br /> __HIDDENCAT__</div> Roger http://www.greenwichyachtclub.co.uk/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=1060 Main Page 2023-11-11T12:34:42Z <p>Roger: Added SEO keywords to first paragraph.</p> <hr /> <div>{{Portal/ContainerOpen|col=1|space=end|class=links-top}}{{Portal/ContainerClose}}<br /> <br /> {{Portal/ContainerOpen|col=1}}<br /> {{Portal/CellOpen|image=true}} <br /> [[File:handbook-home.jpg|100%|link=Main Page|Main Page]]<br /> {{Portal/CellClose}} <br /> {{Portal/ContainerClose}}<br /> <br /> {{Portal/ContainerOpen|col=1|class=intro-text}}<br /> &lt;html&gt;<br /> &lt;div id=&quot;fb-root&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;script async defer crossorigin=&quot;anonymous&quot; src=&quot;https://connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v9.0&amp;appId=217445688277098&amp;autoLogAppEvents=1&quot;<br /> nonce=&quot;ejn2F6n8&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;/script&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;form-group&quot;&gt;<br /> Greenwich Yacht Club is a London sailing club offering dinghy, cruiser and rowing opportunities.

Originally, it was a beached Thames Sailing Barge &quot;Iverna&quot;, then later a hut on the Mudlarks Way beach (see pictures in the club bar). In more recent times we were based in what is now referred to as the &quot;old clubhouse&quot; at the end of River Way near The Pilot pub. The premises were then acquired by English Partnerships to form part of the site for the Millennium Dome. English Partnerships provided the club with new facilities on the then redundant Peartree Wharf. <br /> <br /> Greenwich Yacht Club took possession of the site early in November 1999 with temporary clubrooms in what is now the landside function rooms and this was where we celebrated the Millennium. We finally moved across to our splendid clubhouse standing on the Thames, in June 2000.<br /> <br /> Today our club is one of the most successful yacht clubs on the Thames with more than 400 members. We are an official RYA Training Centre offering shore based and practical courses. The club has a strong contingent of active cruising yachts, dinghies, rowing cutters and motorboats. Our annual cruise to the East Coast of England is one of the biggest sailing events in our calendar. Throughout the year the club organises and competes in a many different races on the Thames for dinghies, yachts, and our rowers. Our riverside function rooms are a sought-after venue for weddings, conferences, events and parties – booked months in advance. The club has diverse social events all year round. We have activities open to the wider community such as our 'Open House' and RYA 'Push the Boat Out' events. <br /> <br /> [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Yacht-Club-Greenwich-1908-2000/dp/0953957705/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=isbn+search+0953957705&amp;qid=1617123340&amp;sr=8-1 The Yacht Club GYC 1908-2000 By Paul Woodhead]<br /> <br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; <br /> |+ Comodores - past and present<br /> !

This enables us to keep a high density of boats within a small space, but does require an understanding of how to moor. The following guidelines should help, but please ask the harbourmaster if you have any questions.<br /> <br /> 1.When there is no boat on a mooring the bridle maintains the integrity of the trot.<br /> <br /> 2.When the boat is on the mooring it takes the place of the bridle, i.e. the mooring strops should be taut and the bridle slack. If the bridle is not slack it is inclined to saw along the side of the boat causing damage to both boat and bridle.<br /> <br /> 3.The mooring should generally be approached into the tide and down wind of the mooring. Once tied fore and aft, motoring the boat into the tide will enable you to further tighten the fore lines, making the bridle go slack. It is advisable to use two lines fore and two lines aft and also to loosely tie up the bridle alongside.<br /> <br /> 4.When leaving the mooring, if there is any wind, you should always arrange to leave so the wind is blowing you away from the bridle. This may necessitate splitting the bridle in the middle and re-joining on the windward side of the boat. Failure to do this may result in getting the bridle caught around the keel, rudder or prop.<br /> <br /> [[File:mooring-bridle.jpg|center]]<br /> <br /> ==GYC Pontoon==<br /> Members are entitled to moor on the GYC pontoon at a members' reduced rate of £5 per night, which is chargeable after three nights free mooring. Members are reminded of the GYC Byelaws: &quot;No craft (including yacht tenders) shall be moored on the pontoon without the permission of the Harbour Master or an Officer of the Club.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==The Yard==<br /> <br /> Our yard is a members' facility not a commercial yard. We have limited space and encourage members to make their stay as short as possible.<br /> <br /> If you wish to work on a longer term project (perhaps a major refurbishment or boat construction) that may take more than a year, you can apply to the committee for 'project status'. This requires a project plan to be submitted, setting out what you plan to do and when. Progress will be reviewed periodically.<br /> <br /> All boats coming into the yard (whether by river or road) may only do so with the Yardmaster's permission. All members wishing to bring their boat into the yard must fill in the on-line application form. Please note that the lift date requested is not guaranteed until confirmed by the yardmaster. Please make contact with the yard team verbally before the day to avoid confusion.<br /> <br /> Every boat-lift application form ''must'' be accompanied by a copy of current and sufficient insurance policy (Byelaws 27c)<br /> <br /> ===Car Parking===<br /> The club has use of car parking just the other side of the footpath as you approach the club by road. Use the spaces on the right hand side (the club side) of the car park as the others are reserved for residents. <br /> <br /> The Yard itself is not a car park. If you plan to leave the premises, please either park your car in our car-park or be sure to drop your car keys in the white post box outside the Harbour Master office. If you leave your car locked-up in the yard please leave a note with a contact number in the window.<br /> <br /> Bear in mind that if your vehicle is parked in the yard it may prevent the use of the lifting equipment and can make it extremely difficult or even impossible to launch or recover other members boats.<br /> <br /> Please, be considerate and treat fellow members as you would like to be treated.<br /> <br /> === Lockers ===<br /> We have a number of large lockers available for use members who have a boat at the club. If you are interested [[Fees_and_Charges|in renting one]], please drop a note to our Yardmaster to see whether there is currently a waiting list. <br /> <br /> ===Trailer boat storage===<br /> A limited number of spaces in the yard have been allocated for long-term storage of trailer boats. If you have a trailer-sailor and would like to keep it in the yard at GYC you can request to be added to the trailer-sailor waiting list. Please contact the Yardmaster.<br /> <br /> __NOAUTHORS__ <br /> __HIDETITLE__<br /> __NOEDITSECTION__ <br /> __NOTOC__<br /> __HIDDENCAT__</div> Roger http://www.greenwichyachtclub.co.uk/w/index.php?title=Venue_Hire&diff=898 Venue Hire 2022-04-28T10:14:49Z <p>Roger: Fixed typo.</p> <hr /> <div>{{Portal/ContainerOpen|col=1}}<br /> {{Portal/CellOpen|image=true}} <br /> [[File:venue-hire.jpg|center|100%|link=Venue_Hire|Venue_Hire]]<br /> {{Portal/CellClose}} <br /> {{Portal/ContainerClose}}<br /> <br /> '''The Clubhouse''' is a wonderful place to host a private party or event. <br /> &lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> * For non-members, [https://www.greenwichweddingvenues.co.uk please see the events website]<br /> * For members, special terms apply as described below.<br /> &lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> {{CustomTOC|limit=3}} <br /> <br /> ==Venue Hire for Members==<br /> #Any member can only book one event / calendar year.<br /> #No member can book an event on a Saturday on behalf of a friend unless agreed by committee<br /> #Members may book an event on behalf of the family member on a Saturday.
