A 4-digit passcode is required for bath house access.  Separate codes are used for the Men’s and Women’s sides.  Bath house is provided for members and guests only.  

The yacht club ice machine is located on the north side of the bath house. Current  price is  posted at the ice machine.  There is a slot in the middle utility room door between the men’s and women’s bathrooms to deposit the money. A key to the machine is hanging on a hook in both the men’s and women’s bathrooms. It is necessary to return the key to the hook after you obtain your ice.  Be sure to replace the lock when done.

The slip owner, a designated representative of the slip owner, or a board member will be able to provide the password. Find RNYC in your wireless setting or icon and enter the password. Our website is www.rnycsh.com.

PLEASE NOTE that Wi-Fi is a convenience for RNYC members and guests. It is not to be relied upon for any business activities. The marina is also limited to the bandwidth offering due to technical limitations with the service provider.

Parking at the marina is limited.  Spaces at the head dock are to be used by owners and renters.  Visitors and clients are to use the parking spaces behind the bath house.  If owners or renters have a second car at the marina, the second car is to be parked behind the bath house.  Overflow parking can be had in the Black River Yacht Club lot, currently around the grass island.  Long term trailer storage is prohibited; trailers may be parked in the lot no longer than 72 hours.

Currently, there is no Dock Master.  Questions and concerns should be directed to LASR Management at 269-292-5277, or contact a board member.

Weekly pump out service is available during the boating season. Envelopes are behind the RNYC sign at the end of the head dock. Please complete your information, enclose your payment, and place it in the secure mailbox.  Current cost will be posted at the envelope location. 

Any entity organized under Section 501(c) of the IRS code is considered a nonprofit organization. The most common of these and most well-known is a 501(c)3. RNYC is a tax exempt organization under the IRS guidance but not a 501(C)3, rather a 501(C)7. The difference is the following:

501(c)3 organizations must spend their income on activities that further their exempt purpose which is a charitable cause.

501(c)7 are limited to membership. Instead of operating like a business for the public, social clubs only serve members. A 501(c)7 social club organization is primarily supported by dues, fees, or similar charges paid by members. The RNYC form of organization is an “Association” in the eyes of the IRS. 

Ultimately, RNYC is an Association, where in order to be a member in the Association you must own a slip and pay dues to receive benefits of the association.
