One vessel only may be stored in each slip. Vessel must be moored in the slip assigned to it. Vessel orientation in the slip shall be bow-in, unless the slip has been approved for stern-in mooring. The Lessee is liable for any charge incurred for having to move a vessel to its assigned slip. Dinghies & PWCs must be raised out of water. Neither the vessel nor its equipment may unreasonably extend beyond the waterway end of the slip or protrude over the main walkway.

Lessee authorizes the Marina to pump out vessels which appear to be in danger of sinking and agree to pay for any services rendered or supplied. Marina does not, however, have any duty or obligation to render aid to a vessel or inspect vessels to determine if the vessel is seaworthy, such responsibility being and remaining that of the Lessee.

21. The slip assignment rules are as follows, subject to modification and interpretation by Marina:
- Lessee shall have the first right to renew the slip assignment for Lessee’s vessel for the following year. Neither Lessee nor Lessee’s agents or brokers shall have any right to sublease slip. In the event Lessee’s vessel is sold, Lessee must inform the Marina in writing within seven (7) days of the sale that the sale has occurred and advise Marina whether or not Lessee has an intention to secure a replacement vessel which would utilize the same slip. Lessee’s buyer shall remove the sold vessel from Lessee’s slip within seven (7) days of the sale.
- If Lessee has no definite intention of securing a replacement vessel which would utilize the same slip, then the slip shall be deemed an “Open Slip”, and Lessee has no right to assign, sub-lease, transfer, convey or in any manner deal with the slip for the remainder of the current year, and shall not have renewal rights for the following year. The Marina may re-lease an Open Slip. The Lessee shall not be entitled to a refund, however Marina may refund to Lessee new rent received up to the amount paid by Lessee.
- If Lessee has timely provided Marina with a written notice of intent to secure a replacement vessel, then Lessee retains the right to the slip (subject to Marina’s right to use the slip for transient slip rental) for the remainder of the year. Lessee shall notify Marina as soon as purchasing a replacement vessel, and if such notice is not received by Marina by February 15th of the following year then, without further notice to Lessee, the slip shall be declared an Open Slip and Lessee shall thereafter have no further rights to such slip. If Lessee’s replacement vessel can occupy the same slip, then Lessee’s rights to the slip shall continue as if no change in vessels had been made.
- If Lessee obtains a replacement vessel that requires a larger slip, then Lessee’s right to the existing slip shall be deemed terminated and the slip shall be declared an Open Slip. The assignment of a slip for the replacement vessel shall occur on the same rules and priorities as any person desiring a slip. If the Lessee obtains a replacement vessel that would normally be assigned to a smaller slip, the Lessee may nevertheless retain rights to the existing slip, provided that the Marina may, but need not, reassign the vessel to a smaller slip as availability of a smaller slip becomes available, with a pro-rata adjustment in slip fees.
22. Payments of slip rent constitutes acceptance of all the terms, conditions, and rules of this lease.
PLEASE NOTE: For your lease to become in effect, this contract must be signed and returned, along with proof of Insurance and your full slip fee payment. Missed deadlines will result in loss of slip & pier assignment. Payments postmarked after February 15th of the boating calendar year will be assessed a late fee. The Lindsay Park Yacht Club Board of Directors reserves the right to add to or amend the Rules and Regulations of the Marina by posting them in the Marina Office, on the website, and notifying by mail.

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.
