Tidal Grid

Use of Tidal Grid

Any member with a boat moored at the Club who wishes to use the SISC Tidal Grid adjacent to the Club pier must request authorization and book a date in advance. It is the owner’s responsibility to check tidal conditions to ensure safe temporary occupation of the Tidal Grid.
