Reciprocals
Welcome to Tuscarora Yacht Club
The Commodore, Board of
Directors, and Members of TYC cordially extend a warm welcome to all
visiting boaters from clubs with whom we share reciprocal agreements.
Tuscarora Yacht Club’s beautiful
location, facilities, and friendly membership make it a premier destination
for many boaters on Lake Ontario.
All visiting boaters are encouraged to view and download our
Visitor Information
brochure for details of our facilities and policies, as well as a
list of the amenities available at local businesses in the neighboring Town
of Wilson, NY.
We hope your stay with us
will be both pleasant and memorable. Please visit us again!
Our Location
TYC is conveniently located on Clark Island on
the port side of the main channel just inside the entrance to Wilson Harbor
in Wilson, New York. Extensive
dredging was conducted in Wilson Harbor in 2014 which has improved harbor
accessibility. Please be cognizant of the red nun buoy as you enter the harbor just past the two break walls; it marks a shoal to your starboard.
Checking In
Visitors are asked to hail ‘Tuscarora Yacht Club’ on VHF channel 68 prior
to entering Wilson Harbor to inquire if dock space is available. Upon
arrival, visitors should tie up at the TYC gas dock, then register at the
Stewards’ Office. Reservations
are not accepted and all visitors are accommodated on a first come, first
served basis. Stewards are on
duty daily at TYC and will assist visitors with docking. We accept credit cards only for all transactions.
Dockage
TYC can accommodate boats up to 43 feet and drafts up to 6 feet. Along
with the dredging completed in Wilson Harbor in 2014, most TYC slips were
also dredged. TYC does not have
dedicated visitor slips.
Visitors will be assigned to empty slips or the slips of traveling members.
Slip assignments are made by the Steward or the Officer of the Day;
their decision is final. TYC
reserves the right to move a visiting boat to another slip if necessary.
Potable water and 20 or 30 amp power are available dockside.
There are no mooring facilities at
TYC. Boats may not be left unattended
overnight.
Reciprocal Policy
TYC offers docking privileges to all boaters who are
full members of any yacht club
with whom TYC shares reciprocity, subject to availability.
Membership cards must be presented.
TYC’s reciprocal rate is $10.00 per night with a maximum stay of
three nights. The maximum number of
stays in one year is at the discretion of TYC.
Social memberships will not be
honored.
Reciprocal Clubs
The yacht clubs to whom TYC has offered reciprocal privileges is provided
in our interactive list of
Reciprocal Clubs.
An up-to-date binder of letters received from clubs offering
reciprocity to TYC in return is maintained in the Stewards’ Office.
These letters may be viewed by TYC members at any time.
Reciprocal Information for TYC Members
Any TYC member who anticipates a trip to another reciprocal club is encouraged to visit that club’s website for a complete explanation of their reciprocal policy. Reciprocal club websites are provided on the list of reciprocal clubs above. Additional information regarding clubs affiliated with the Lake Ontario Club Cruising Association (LOCCA) can be found on the LOCCA Website.
When
traveling to other clubs, our members will be expected to carry their TYC
membership cards and present them upon arrival.
Some clubs also ask that visitors fly their home club burgees.
