2.     No unnecessary gear of any type shall be left on club floats.  Each boat will be allowed one set of stairs or a storage box of reasonable size with a maximum capacity of 20 cubic feet.

3.     All hoses and electrical wires will be stored away properly when not in use.  Boat owners are responsible for the cleanliness and tidiness of their float space areas.  If a water hose is left attached to a vessel, the water faucet must be turned off if the vessel is left unattended.  Any attachments to or deviations of the water system will only be made after prior approval has been received from the Fleet Captain.

4.     Children under 12 years old are not allowed on the pier or the floats unless they are wearing a personal flotation device.  An adult must supervise children under 14 years old at all times.

5.     Dogs will ALWAYS be on a leash or restrained on their boats.

6.     Boats will NEVER be left unattended at the gas dock.  Boats must fuel up at the gas dock and not from an adjacent slip.

7.     Absolutely no fuel can be transported over the pier and docks for personal filling of fuel tanks.  The only containers that are allowed will be O.E.M. closed containers for use in rubber rafts and smaller craft.  If you need fuel please move your boat to the gas dock and purchase it there.

8.     All connections to the float electrical system must have a three-wire system with a non-current carrying ground, properly grounded in the boat.  No 2-wire to 3-wire electrical adaptation will be approved.  Each vessel will be allowed only one hook-up unless prior approval for an additional wire has been received from the Fleet Captain.  Each boat owner will pay the scheduled club electrical fee for each wire from the dock to his vessel.

9.     Cooking will be allowed only on board the boats and not on the docks.  Cooking devices must be propane type, Matchlight briquettes or electric.  No starting fluid may be used.  The device must be secured to the owner’s boat and a fire extinguisher must be within easy reach.  No cooking may be used within 6 feet of any gasoline vent.  No cooking device will be left unattended.

10.  Overboard discharge of oil, gasoline or the waste holding tank is prohibited.

11.  Each boat owner will insure that any damages done by him or by his boat will be repaired immediately.  Owners will be financially responsible for any damage done by them to floats or other vessels.  Each boat owner will furnish the Fleet Captain with a copy of his insurance policy and registration or documentation papers before his boat is docked for the 2010 season.

12.  All tenders and dinghies will be secured either in the owner’s slip or on his boat and will not block any other slip in any way.

13.  No tender or dinghy shall be left in the water unattended without the permission of the Fleet Captain.  Tenders and dinghies will be operated at a speed of not more than 5 miles per hour when in the vicinity of the dockage area and beach.

14.  A boat owner may tie his boat on the outside of the Courtesy Dock for a maximum period of 12 hours.  Any extension of this period will be allowed only with the permission of the Fleet Captain.  The courtesy dock is occupied for 2010, check with the Fleet Captain.

15.  Slip assignments for 2010 will be made in accordance with and in respect to the size restrictive float plan approved by the Board of Trustees and the general membership.

16.  If a vessel has vacated its slip for an extended period, or if a boat owner has not filled his slip for an extended period, the Fleet Captain may assign that slip to another vessel until the permanent assignee returns.  An extended period shall be considered 5 days unless a mutual agreement is reached between the slip occupant and the Fleet Captain for its use for a period of less than 5 days.  In all cases the Fleet Captain will insure that the slip is available upon the return of the permanently assigned vessel.  Please advise the Fleet Captain of any extended periods.

17.  A club member who is not already paying dockage fees to the club, and who is assigned a slip as stated in paragraph 15, will be charged $10.00 per day after the first 12 hours of his stay.  It will be the responsibility of this member to pay all dockage fees to the Fleet Captain.

18.  Transient boats may tie up at the Point of Pines Yacht Club during the day for a maximum period of 8 hours at no charge.  If the boat is staying for more than 8 hours a rate of $1.00 per foot per day will be charged for the entire stay.  Transient boats must leave after 3 days unless prior arrangements have been made with the Fleet Captain.  All visiting boaters will report to the Fleet Captain or his assistants upon arrival at the club and prior to leaving their boats unattended.  All dockage fees will be collected before the boat leaves the club.  The Fleet Captain will assign the slip to be occupied.

19.  No new dock guard will be installed on any float unless the Fleet Captain approves it.  Dock guard will be rubber molding type and secured by roofing nails.  No fire hose or non-approved dock guard will be allowed.

20.  In the event of a hurricane or other adverse weather conditions, the Fleet Captain, in conjunction with the Commodore, may require slip occupants to remove their vessels from the Point of Pines Yacht Club.  The Fleet Captain will attempt to notify members of any decision that is made; however, when severe weather is forecast, members should periodically check their boats and stay in communication with the club.  The Fleet Captain will determine when it is safe to return all vessels to their slips.

21.  A copy of the vessel’s boat insurance, registration, and or documentation must be given each year before the vessel is docked for the season.

22.  Any deviation from these float rules will be made only with the express permission of the Fleet Captain.
