Moorage
The marinas are not operated by the SCYC.
As moorage is dependent on annual moorage vessels vacating their slip, the marinas are attempting to ensure that competitors are on the priority list.
By registering for the race, you are NOT registering for moorage.
The SCYC is not responsible for moorage.
Competitors must arrange moorage through the marina.
When contacting the marina ensure that when you contact the marina specify that you are part of the Sunshine Coast Yacht Club reservation.
