TLYC Membership rates 

Membership/joining fee 
TLYC does not charge a “One time Membership Fee” or any initial entry fee for members Yet.  We only charge dues. However, this policy will not last forever. We envisage that at around 100 members, we will have to charge a P50,000 "one time fee". When that time comes, those who joined before the fee came into effect, will be exempted from paying the fee. 

Monthly Charges 
Dues are so minimal that they are payable in advance annualy. Dues and fees increase periodically. Membership is by application, and we resrve the right to refuse membeship to anybody. Membership is a privelage, and we reserve the right to not renew a membership, or to terminate it, for any reason. To be a member of TLYC you MUST know how to sail. We do have courses and instructors who can teach you, even though you are not yet a member. 

Guest limit: There is no limit on immediate family, but We have to charge for other non-member guests over a total party of 4. This limit is set because we allow food to be brought in, unlike all the other clubs that strictly enforce a "no bringing in food" policy. 

Types of Membership offered 
Regular Membership 
Membership is only available for those who know how to sail. 
This allows unlimited entry to the member and his/her household, or the member and up to three guests. 
Camping is free. 
A membership card will be issued. 
The monthly rate  is $10 or peso equivalent

Regular membership with Huts  (Prefered membership) 
Membership is only available for those who know how to sail. 
In addition to the regular membership fee, $10 per month can be added, and this entitles the member to use the huts at any time, and gives the member priority over non-members, who are paying per use. 
A Membership Card will be issued. 
This type of membership is only available on an annual basis. 
Monthly Rate: Regular dues+ cost of one hut per month 

Rowing Membership 
Rowing membership is available for those who row or Kayak, but don't sail. Pricing is the same as regular membership. And a preferred plan is also available. 

.org/ corporate membership 
If 10 regular or rowing members sign up as a group, pay dues as a lump sum in one check, are all connected to / employed by/ enrolled in an organization/school that is not solely, or primarily, formed to avail of the group membership plan, Then this type of membership applies. 
Dues are the same as for regular members, and membership status is also credited to an individual. Benefits are the same as those for an individual. The difference is that for every 10 members that sign up, the group is entitled to one free hut. If 20 signups, 2 free huts, and so on. 
 

Absentee Membership 
If a member is going to be living abroad, or “out of town”, he/she may choose Absentee Membership.  In case the member comes to the club, he may use the facilities till the end of that month. 
A membership card will be issued.

Individual Entry 
Tlyc does allow limited individual entry. This is in line with our desire to promote the sport to a broad base of potential members. 
 Entry fee is P100 per adult  per visit as of this writing. There are special rates for children. 

 

Lifevests 
· Boat Rentals include two life jackets per H16.  One trapeze harness is included if available. Other boats include 1 vest only. Wearing a lifevest is Mandatory on rental boats.  

Important 
· It is the prerogative of the TLYC to decide not to rent to anyone particularly if skill level is questionable, and/or if wind is strong. You may be required to take an exam and /or leave a rental deposit.  You are responsible for anything that breaks. You are responsible for your own safety. We do have rescue boats, but we cannot guarantee an immediate rescue because we don't know if you need one, and the boat might also be in use.  You are responsible to check the boat before it goes out. If you don't think the boat can handle the conditions, don't rent it. 

Booklets on sailing 
· We do have a very inexpensive  booklet on sailing Hobies. If you are not an experienced catamaran sailor, buy it. And read it BEFORE you go out. Make sure you can right a capsized boat unless you want to be rescued. It takes 265 lbs in the right place, using the right technique to right a 16. It takes about 165 to right the Wave. Technique is the key ingredient.  

Rescues 
· Generally,  if  a boat  has capsized or appears to be in need of assistance for 15 minutes or so,  we will send a rescue boat out.  TLYC does not guarantee that a rescue boat will be available.  So don’t count on it!  You will only be charged for the rescue if you accept the assistance, so sometimes it takes a while for the boat to go out.  
· IF you go out, remember you are on your own. You accept responsibility for everything. Being dependent on yourself alone, and making the proper preparations before you go out are an important part of what sailing is all about.  
· Do not take rental boats further than where we can see the boats on shore clearly unless you are very sure of yourself.  Under no circumstance should you go further than the islands. If you get into trouble we can't rescue you because we can't see you. If you can't clearly discern individual boat hulls on the beach, you are too far out for a rescue. We can't rescue you if we can't see you.  

Damage policy 
· The general policy on rental damage is:  You break a part, you pay for a new one.  We have a catalog of parts complete with pricing for your perusal.  Inspect the boat before you go out. If the boat looks like it can only handle light winds, and it’s a windy day, don’t take it out.  
 

 
Other Rental Policies and charges 

 Boat rental ends at 5:30 PM.  If you aren’t back by sunset, or you are very far out at 5:30,  the boys may decide to go and get you, and you will be charged a rescue fee.

 “Hourly rental” minutes are not cumulative. ie you cannot rent something for 20 minutes, return it for 30 minutes, use it for 20 minutes, return it for 30 minutes, and rent it again for 20 minutes, and then say 20+20+20= 1 hr.

 Rental starts when you get on the boat. It does not start when you say you want to rent.  If you request that a boat be set up for your use, and then you don’t use it, you will only be charged 20% of the daily rate.   However, If someone else wants to use the boat,  you will be informed so you can choose for your rental to start, or be able to give up your rental at no charge.

Do not slam the boat into the beach. You risk a P500 fine. Stop the boat in the water by turning it upwind, and walk it into the beach.

TLYC Private Facilities Rentals and policies. 

At TLYC there are two types of  facilities. Common and Private. The common areas are the restrooms, the children’s play areas, main parking, dirty kitchen/wash area and the main “Clubhouse/patio” area with red Vigan tile flooring. Any member or guest can use any of these areas at any time.  

There are “Private areas” which should be respected when occupied. These are exclusive for whoever has reserved them.  

P400 /day big Private huts  
P350/ day regular huts  
P100/day campsite only (note: free for Members)  

Reservations can be made for these areas by calling in advance.  

The huts w/campsite can accommodate a maximum of 10 people each on weekends and holidays.  Groups larger than that should occupy an additional hut. We cannot accommodate Weekend/holiday non-sailing groups larger than the limit for 2 huts except by very special arrangement. The wear on the grass and the surrounding area is too destructive, and the noise level inside (and outside) the hut gets too great otherwise.   We do not allow loud radios, karaoke, or any other loud instruments that will destroy the tranquillity of the adjoining huts.   On weekdays,  we allow up to 15 people per hut. Seven chairs are supplied with each hut.  

Campsites can handle up to 5 people each.  

We allow non-sailing corporate gatherings, parties, Movie productions etc.  However, we can accommodate these groups only on Non-holiday weekdays.  In this case, The whole club can be rented as an exclusive venue for P8000/day. We estimate that we can accommodate up to 100 people in this case, inclusive of all helpers and guests, other than our own staff.   In this case there is no club restriction on sound systems etc.  Catering is allowed in the main club area.  A stage may be set up, and if necessary, an advance crew can be accommodated.
