Vessel LOA & Slip Policy
Slip Modifications
- Please note that absolutely no modifications or attachments (walkways, signs, satellite dishes, etc) may be made to a slip or pier without written authorization from LPYC’s Board of Directors.
LOA Measurement
- A vessel’s length shall be measured by a plumb line that begins at the farthest protruding point of the vessel’s bow or attachments to the vessel as it is maintained in the slip and ends at the farthest protruding point of the vessel’s stern or attachments to the vessel as it is maintained in the slip. (See pictures)
- If an anchor, stanchions, I/O units, swim platforms, RIBs, lifts or the like protrudes out past the hull, then the plumb line shall be from the farthest protruding point.
- If anchor, stanchions or the like protrudes out past the hull, but is at least over 7’ vertical clearance from Dock Walkway, then allowance is made for additional 2’ overhang.
- Dinghies, davits, swim platforms, lifts and other items can not be added to a vessel unless the vessel as modified continues to be in compliance with these rules.
- Vessel owners are eligible to be placed on the wait list for a larger slip upon submission of a letter to the Board containing a positive commitment of the need for a specified size larger slip as a result of either a larger vessel being purchased or attachments to be incorporated to their current vessel that would require a larger slip.
- Vessels and their attachments as configured and existing as of September 15, 2007 are grandfathered in to their existing slip. If a slip move is sought by a grandfathered vessel owner the vessel must comply with the then-current Vessel LOA and Slip Policy.
- Slips may be reassigned by the Board to facilitate the best fit and use of all slips.
- The Slip Committee may grant variances to this policy if such are determined by the Board to be in the best interests of the Club, and this policy is subject to revision at any time by the Board.
