Paddleshare and Bicycle Amenity
Paddleshare and Bicycle Amenity
For all Paddleshare watercraft and bicycles, all members and their guests MUST sign a waiver. Failure to sign a waiver will result in revocation of Paddleshare privileges. The waiver must be submitted to the office. You may download a waiver here.
This is the booking link for all Paddleshare watercraft. And here is a one minute instructional video to show you how to use it.
Note: It’s easier to plan ahead: Sign up ahead of time so you don’t have to bring your cellphone on the water. Remember to cancel your Signup if your plans change, just like the tender.
Most craft are now in the Paddle Centre (old Junior Club). To get the access code, you need to sign your waiver and sign up for your Paddle Pass at the office. The nominal fee of the paddle pass helps us maintain and expand this club amenity.
For Bicycles:
New details coming soon...
For Paddleboards:
1) Paddlebaords are moving to the Paddle Centre very soon. Until then, retrieve your board from the end of the blue dinghy racks on Algonquin Island where the canoes and small watercraft are kept. Follow the path from the clubhouse towards the bike racks, continue on and you will see the racks on your left. You will also see signage marking the area.
2) Carry your board to the launch area, the boat ramp off the drysail pad (or the beach beside the Paddle Centre).
Tuck the board under one arm and use the hand-hold area on the board, or use two people to transport it.
3) Attach your foot leash, head to the end of the boat ramp & place your board in the water
Be careful not to break the fin on the ramp! For tips on how to mount the board check out the QCYC Paddleboard Quick Start Guide in the paddleboard box or at qcyc.ca. Enjoy the water for your 2h 45 min time slot.
4) Hose off any weeds or dirt at the dinghy ramp. Return the paddleboard to the designated racks with the board’s fin facing up and paddles on top of each board.
*Note: Signup will be periodically checked to ensure all participants have submitted a waiver. Failure to complete a waiver will result in loss of use of this amenity. Waivers must be completed by parents for children under 18.
Enjoy the lagoons and our fabulous island home! Tag all the fun you're having on Instagram @qcycsailing or email entertainment@qcyc.ca
