New SYC Store Items!

Check out the SYC store for our new  SYC jacket that I will be taking orders for. I request that you contact me either by email (fpbar@juno.com) or phone (617-302-3910) with your order. Note that your order is not complete until I have received your payment. I need to get a minimum order for the price in the attachment.

The jacket comes in both youth and adult sizes. We'll try this and see how it goes.

Any questions contact me. I will bring the jacket to the Friday Night Dinners so that you can look at them. I will be posting this at the club once I finish the brochure.

Regards,
Frank Hart

A Message on Quincy Ordinances 

  
First, if you are new to the waters of Quincy, please make sure that you fill out a 2BE-1State Tax form at the Quincy Assessors Office. This is a boat declaration form, naming your homeport for tax purposes. While at city hall you can fill out the 2009 Mooring Permi t and leave it with the tax collectors office, where I will pick them up for processing.

If you have been moored in Quincy in the past you should have received an Excise Tax Bill. All boaters that are on the list for Excise will receive a mooring permit with their tax bill. If you need a copy of the permit, some will be available at local yacht clubs and marinas. You must file a Mooring Permit application every year. Permits when the taxes have been paid. If you did not receive a tax bill, it is your responsibility to insure that your taxes are paid. Any vessel that has been sold must be removed from the list by the owner. You must call the Environment Police and cancel the vessels registration. If the registration has expired it does not remove you from the list, you still must remove the vessel from the list. Please again remember, if you have a vessel registered in your name, you will receive a tax bill until you cancel the registration. Boats sold, destroyed or transferred to another state will receive a bill if you do not cancel the registration.

Second, when registering your vessel you can declare a homeport (this is where you moor your vessel not where it is registered from). This information is helpful with the issuing of tax bills. 

Third, the Quincy Police Marine Unit will be running boater safety classes at the Houghs Neck Maritime Center. Call for times and dates. You can also check the Environmental Police web site for other class locations. Boaters are asked to attend a safe boating course to insure that proper boating etiquette and the rules of the road are understood. Have a safe summer!
