VISITOR INFORMATION Visitors are allowed to sail and buggy at Hoylake by prior arrangement only and provided no open/national regatta is fixed for that date. They must contact the Chariman or Secretary in advance to arrange to be met and briefed at the club house before sailing on the bank. They must also sign in the visitor's book with name, address, club details, craft number and a next of kin contact phone number. A nominal fee may be charged for using this facility. Please note that visitors are not permitted to use any of the club's vehicles, under any circumstances but will have full use of the club house, showers and toilets. WSYC will consider competitors registered in organised events as visitors. They must be insured and documented (name, address, craft number and N.O.K contact number) and the list must be held in the club house. Sailing is allowed only under the control of a 'Sailing Master' who must brief sailors on the local rules and conditions at the start of the event and ensure that the warning signs and other risk assessment provisions are in place. The risk assessments created (separately) by the club and the Wirral Borough Council (WBC) cover the type of craft that are permitted on the site, and form the basis upon which the licencing agreement between the club and the WBC was created. These currently include class three, five and Standart sandyachts, mini-yachts and class eight parakarts (Kite Buggies). Guests of the club are required to sign the visitors' book at the club house. In addition, familiarisation of the club's rules relating to the use of the facilities and sailing site are also a requirement of the WBC, and documentation is available in the club house. If you are planning a visit and wish to familiarise yourself with the basics prior to arriving, please contact us. If your planning to make a trip up to WSYC please make contact with a club official first through email, our Facebook page or through another member to make sure you can be signed in. WSYC recommend you check the club calendar and Facebook for any events that may be on. Members of the public or persons that would like to join us on the beach when events are on that are wishing to watch or take photographs should first seek out a club official for your own safety.
