Skipper Responsibilities & Usage Reports (Boat Reservations)

Skipper/Member Responsibilities

Before heading out on your first sail with the Club, prepare yourself by reviewing our Club Skipper/Member Responsibilities Checklist. Members are expected to follow the checklist items on every day sail and overnight charter.

BoatUS / Towing Membership Information

It is highly suggested by the Club for members to invest in a membership with BoatUS Towing. Having a membership with BoatUS will give you peace of mind when you’re out on the water. Towing can cost thousands and having a membership with BoatUS reduces the cost exponentially. The Club does not have a towing service available and once you leave the dock, you are the responsible skipper on board. Stay safe and prepared with a BoatUS membership.

Usage Reports | Accident Report Forms | Troubleshooting Engines

Usage reports are required to be submitted immediately after your sail. All issues should be reported directly to the Club upon return and noted in the usage report. Take and send photos to info@seattlesailing.com

A QR code linked to the Pre-Sail and Post-Sail checklists (usage reports) are posted on the bulk head or in the cabin of every boat. Both sections are required.

Failure to submit usage reports will result in the suspension of member privileges. After 3 written reminders to submit a report (3 different sails), the Club will charge $25 per unsubmitted report.
