The Board of Governors is empowered to discipline, suspend, or expel any member for actions it deems improper or prejudicial to the Club. The following information is intended to alert members to some activities that might be considered injurious to CRYC. The list is not all-inclusive, partly because the extent to which particular releases of information reflect harmfully on the Club must be evaluated case by case.
Members may not post, publish, forward, link to, or disseminate information that might harm the Club’s or its members’ reputation or diminish the Club’s goodwill
Make no disclosures of confidential information of CRYC or its members. The membership roster may not be used for purposes other than Coral Ridge Yacht Club business.
