Hurricane Damage Reports:
It is possible that you sent me a report and I missed it. That does happen.
Key Biscayne Yacht Club
I’m happy to report that KBYC suffered no damage and is operating normally.
Jim
Naples Sailing and Yacht Club
Naples Sailing and Yacht Club has sustained no damages, and the marina and dining services are fully operational.
Bruce Harris
Carlouel Yacht Club
Thanks for your email. Unfortunately, the damage to Carlouel from the recent hurricanes and flooding was extensive. All facilities remain closed at this time. We are still working through the process of mitigation and dry out, so predicting the estimated timeframe for return of dining, pool and/or marina access is difficult to pin down at this time. I expect we’ll have more information to share at the FCYC meeting in Key Biscayne on 11/9/24.
Best regards.
James S. Constable, Esq.
St. Petersburg Yacht Club
Like many clubs along the West Coast, SPYC has been impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. As a result, we will not be accepting reciprocal club members through at least November 1, 2024. At that time, we will reevaluate our status.
Please share this update with your members, and thank you for your understanding during this time.

a. If so, what limitations exist? Fuel? Pump-out? Electricity?
Water?
3. If you are not open, or have limitations, have you received any
estimate on the length of those limitations?

5. Please let us know if your club has no damage to report. SEE COMMENTS BELOW:
On Monday and Tuesday, we will began removing carpets from the lower level of the club, which sustained water damage during Hurricane Helene.
Currently, our downtown clubhouse is still without three-phase power, which is needed to operate kitchen equipment, air conditioning, elevators, and lighting throughout the building. Unfortunately, the transformer responsible for this power sustained an electrical fire on Friday. We are working closely with Duke Energy to assess the damage and develop a plan to restore power to both the transformer and the club.
Coral Ridge Yacht Club
Gentleman,
Coral Reef is fully open for FCYC reciprocity. There would be no limitations regarding visits during this challenging time.
Coral Reef sustained no damage.

St. Charles Yacht Club
Our fixed docks had some power pedestals damaged. We estimate a four-foot storm surge with Helene and a six-foot surge with Milton. The floating docks performed as advertised. We had no structural damage to our club. All our operations, including dining and our marina are back to normal function. I have not heard of any complications on the Okeechobee Waterway.
