Member Rules

The following rules are in place for the safety of our members to safeguard against unforeseen events. Anyone found in violation of these rules will have their membership suspended immediately.

Personal Flotation Device (PFD)

All ClubLocarno members MUST be wearing a PFD while on any ClubLocarno watercraft.

Wetsuit

Every person on board a ClubLocarno sailboat or windsurfer MUST be wearing a wetsuit.  Those using a rowing shell, kayak or SUP must dress for immersion, considering probability and potential consequences of capsize.

Swimming

Members MUST have sufficient swimming skills to swim at least 50 meters through rough water, in order to recover their craft should they become separated from it.

Guests

Each member is responsible for understanding and abiding by the club's guest rules.  Overall guest rules are described here: How it All Works 

Members are responsible for the safety of their guests. Under no circumstances can members and guests use craft from different fleets.

In addition, there are some guest rules that vary by fleet. It is important that each member reviews each of the fleet’s rules regarding guests before taking out a guest:

• Sailing: Sailing Guests
• Rowing: Rowing Guests
• Kayaking: Kayaking Guests
• Stand-up paddling: SUP Guests
• Windsurfing: guests are not permitted to use ClubLocarno gear. Please encourage them to visit Windsure and rent a board

All guests are expected to sign our Guest Registration and Waiver. They are also supposed to go to the Jericho office to sign Jericho's guest waiver.
