New Inboard and Outboard Float Rules
At the General Membership Meeting on July 9, 2009, it was voted to add the following to both the Inboard and Outboard Float Rules. "Beginning on January 1, 2010, all boat owners, before docking a boat at the float to which the boat owner is assigned, must show Proof of Insurance to the Float Committee Chairman or his representative for boats kept in the marina or on moorings of the yacht club. Minimum coverage shall include $500,000 for environmental damage and $300,000 for Protection & Indemnity liability. The yacht club will be named a "certificate holder" of the insurance.”
RECREATIONAL SALTWATER FISHING PERMIT Required for 2012
Purchase by phone (Mon-Sun, 5am to 5pm) and call: 1-866-703-1925
*Please have credit card information ready.
**Note: MA Anglers only need the MA Recreational Saltwater Fishing Permit. Anglers are no longer required to register with the National Registry.
Thefts of Boating Equipment Rise
Savin Hill, South Boston, and Columbia Yacht Clubs are having a terrible time with theft at their clubs (most of theft is done to the boats on moorings). All boaters should keep a list of the equipment with serial numbers that are left on the boat. We are providing a form to list your equipment so you will have something to give the police in case your boat is robbed. Download this form is here and look for it in the July issue of The Lighthouse.
