The inspections will be held at the new clubhouse under the Durban promenade. You can reach the clubhouse by entering the underground parking at the promenade using Browns road entrance. Turn right and head towards our clubhouse. We will do the registration in front of the clubhouse. You will see us there.
We are requesting that you please pay via EFT into our bank account and show proof of payment on the day. No cash will be accepted. Please a copy of your proof of payment with you and remember to add your ski number or name as the reference? Please check out the fees section for the banking details.
Membership cards will be issued from the PYC harbour administration office. You will be notified once they are ready for collection.
We would like to bring to your attention the following:
In order to make the inspection process run smoothly we have taken an extract from our club constitution, which states;
“ under the authority of The Harbour Master, the club enforces a strict safety code of conduct. Flares, life jackets, 1st aid kits, anchors etc are carried at all times as well as operating a beach safety duty system for all the members, ensuring a 100% safety record throughout this club’s history”.
We would like to focus on the 1st point specifically, which is flares.
On all valid, in date flares, the expiry date CANNOT be before the date of the next inspection eg our inspection will be this month,ie10/2021, therefore the expiry date on the flare has to be 10/2022 or later. A flare dated 09/2022 will not be passed as it is 1 month out of date.
Please understand that SAMSA(South African Maritime Safety Authority)has made this ruling not the club,& even the Harbour Master himself has to follow the regulations of SAMSA(South African Maritime Safety Authority).
As a club, we are expected to follow the rules & regulations as well, so please ensure that your flares are “in date” for the inspection.
Most new flares are now dated & valid for 3 years as opposed to the old flares, which only had a 1 year “life”span.
