a) Vessel Length
Limitations
1) Vessel length (length over all
- LOA) includes all appendages (swim platform, bowsprit, anchor chock, etc.).
Vessels may be measured by Marina staff in the slip after occupancy. No vessel
having a vessel length (LOA) exceeding 3 feet longer than the designated slip
length will be permitted. Vessels with an overall length (LOA) less than 5 feet
of the slip length will not be permitted without written permission of the
M.A.O. Permission will be based upon maximum utilization of the Marina facility
resources. Violation of this provision will result in cancellation of the slip
assignment.
2) Vessel Extending
Beyond Slip: A vessel shall not extend more than 3 feet beyond the end of any
finger float including but not limited to the vessel's davits, booms,
swingstop, bowsprit or bow pulpit.
3) No part of any vessel shall extend over
the main walkway.
b)
Vessel/Slip Occupancy
1) Slips shall be
available for occupancy from April 1 through October 31, weather permitting.
Boats not being stored for the winter season at North Point Marina must be
removed from the Marina by October 31. If boats have not been removed by
October 31, the M.A.O. has the authority to impose temporary slip fees and/or
remove the vessel and charge the owner for cost of removal and temporary
storage fees until the vessel is removed from the site.
2) The assigned slip must be occupied by a
vessel registered to the slip renter within 60 days after notification that the
slip is available for occupancy, unless given written permission by the M.A.O.
due to such circumstances as dry-dock time, unforeseen mechanical problems or
unavailability of parts.
3) The
Permittee shall notify the harbor office anytime his/her vessel will be
occupied by any person other than the Permittee or his or her family.
4) No one under 18 years of age is to stay
overnight on any vessel moored in the Marina without an adult present or
without written permission from the M.A.O. Permission will be based upon such
considerations as age of the minors, reason for the stay, and length of the
stay.
5) Slip holders desiring to
live aboard their vessel must make application with the M.A.O. for liveaboard
status of 30 days or more. The M.A.O. may deny or terminate any application for
liveaboard status, based upon such considerations as violations of Department
rules, or safety.
6) The M.A.O.
reserves the right to use permanent slips for transient vessels. Permanent slip
holders shall notify the Marina office if they expect to leave their slip
unoccupied for a period of 48 hours or longer and their expected date and time
of return to the Marina. Transient vessels shall use their own dock lines and
shall not use those of the permanent slip holder. Owners of transient vessels
must vacate the temporarily assigned permanent slip upon notification by the
M.A.O. or on the return of the permanent slip holder's vessel to the
Marina.
c) Tenders: One
personal watercraft, dingy, or yacht tender owned by the Permittee and
regularly used as a yacht tender may be kept in the Permittee's slip. This
personal watercraft, dingy or yacht tender shall not extend into the
fairway.
d) Storage on Docks and
Fingers: Nothing shall be stored on the docks and fingers except in locker
boxes provided at each slip. When a vessel is removed at the end of the season
or due to cancellation, the locker box must be cleaned out. Any items not
removed from the locker box shall be deemed abandoned and become property of
the Department.
e) Dock
Modification: There shall be no modification of the dock or installation of
fenders, dock wheels, etc., without written permission by the M.A.O. Such
permission shall be granted if the modification, based upon published marine
engineering standards, does not create a safety hazard, does not conflict with
the Department's Master Management Plan, and is not aesthetically
displeasing.
f) Steps: Any steps
used for ingress and egress from a vessel shall not be wider than half the
width of the finger to which the vessel is moored. Positioning of steps on any
dock must be approved by the M.A.O. These steps shall not be used as a storage
locker.
g) Drying of Laundry:
Drying or airing of laundry or apparel on the dock or rigging of the vessel is
not permitted.
h) Commercial
Activity: Subject to availability, all charter boat operators will be assigned
to the commercial harbor. Only Permittees in the commercial harbor will be
permitted to advertise on their boats. No sign of any kind will be permitted on
the docks. Charter boat slip fees will be the same as that for the main harbor.
No one other than licensed Charter Boat Operators shall engage in charter boat
activities. No Charter Boat Operator shall pick up or discharge passengers in
the recreational basin.
