FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 
 
Q: Do you Allow Non-Members? 
A:  Non-members and guests are charged a P 100.00 entrance fee per person. We have to allow non-members because we want to teach people to sail, and you can't become a member, unless you already know how to sail.
Also, we do a brisk business sending non members on tours to the volcano. That income keeps the club alive.  We have to let them in! :-)

Q: Do you allow dogs?

We have to recommend this book, because its saved so many of our Dog's lives.
 A: YES!!!  We are one of very few resorts/clubs that allow dogs. But we only allow well behaved, well trained ones. If they are unruly, noisy, if they growl, even at other dogs, or if their owners don't take care of them, they're out. We are the final judge.

We allow a lot of dogs that have no formal training. On the other hand, we have rejected dogs that have passed the CDX rank. It just depends on the dog. Does your dog bark at the neighbors kids? If the answer is "yes", don't bring him. We have lots of kids, and we don't want them to be afraid of dogs.

We do have some dogs that have adopted us, and we just dont have the heart to kick them out. 
Then we also feed the Jack Russels, and the Duchunds.  ... and dont get me started on the cats. we have quite a few of those too.  

Q: How about Jetskis and Powerboats?
 
A: TLYC does not allow, except under very special arrangement, Jetskis, Powerboats, or other engine driven boats to be launched within the club premises. Space and noise are the major considerations.  Basically, aside from  you pying storage, we use the boats occasionally for rescue. This is actually good, if you dont use your boat that much. because the engine needs to be run occasionally.

Q: Are food and drinks available in the club? Can food be brought in? 
A: "Our servce is always prompt, No matter how long it takes!" Order an hour before you expect to get hungry.
If you want the delicacy of the house, cleaned fried Tawilis (its a resh water sardine found ONLY in Taal Lake) order a day in advance.

Entry of food is allowed. You can bring a grill, or rent one with charcoal. We find that some people want to sail, while others enjoy being in charge on shore, and that usually means taking care of the food. Its all part of the family atmosphere that we promote. 

Q: Do you allow Camping? 
A: Camping is not only allowed, it is encouraged. We want people to appreciate the environment, and there aren't many more pleasurable experiences than lying out on the grass watching the stars at TLYC.   Large private open huts may also be rented by the campers and they can set up their tents on the open space in front of the hut. Maximum stay is 5 days. 

Q: Do you offer Boat Rentals? 
A: If you are not ready to invest in a boat, or find it better to rent, TLYC offers boat rentals.   Click Here for rates 

Q: I don't know how to sail! Do you offer lessons?  
A:  Yes, there is a section below that gives more details. To find out about pricing for sailing classes at TLYC Click Here. 

Q: Do you sell learn to sail books? 
A: Yes, we we do. You can buy them from the TLYC store.  National, and Powerbooks also have books.

Q: How about Trips to the Volcano? 
A: Trips to the Volcano are available at standard rates (which other resorts set). TLYC personel can arrange the banca for your trip. It is recommended that you take a guide if you've never gone before.  check out  www.tlyc.com/volctrip.html

Q: Do you accept large groups, Corporate outings, Teambuilding, Birthdays, Weddings, exclusive use? 
A: Yes. The size we like is 50, because it will not cause problems with our regular operatons,and we dont have much extra that we need to do. Having said that, we CAN handle groups up to 200 for weddings, and under very specil arrangements.  Exclusive use of the club facilities can be arranged under certain conditions. 
We do teambuildng on our own, but we prefer that you have your own teambuilding facilitator.
