I think you need personal handicaps too..... and maybe they need to earn a 10 - 20 PY advantage for every duty they do??

We have similar. Structure is clear in the club rules. Maybe we should see the joining fee as a "just in case fee" for people who abandon boats when they leave, to join two threads together!

at Blithfield we have an agreed structure to contact expired owners asking them to remove boats/pay outstanding fees. This is only applied to bosts which have obviously been abandoned. After all efforts have been made, a listing on ebay with low starting price avoids the extra work of burning/cutting. even the worst boat can have a new life as a planter or kids sandpit!

The legal situation regarding disposal of abandoned boats is pretty complex, basically the club has to show that they have made reasonable efforts to contact the owner, (two recorded letters) then demonstrate that they have achieved the best price if the boat is saleable and prior to all of they they have to have a clause in the rules stating that boats may be sold or disposed of after a certain time to defray unpaid subs. It's a lot of effort for the club's committee and if, after the boat has beed disposed of the owns pops up demanding he's boat back there is a possibility of court action and more time and effort for the committee. It's not surprising that most clubs just don't want to get involved.

Why chuck them out of they are paying their fees and you don't have a waiting list? Keep them there helping keep the fees down for the active members. Only an issue once you need the space or the member leaves and doesn't take the boat. We have this every now and again and the ex member is given plenty of warning before it gets chopped up

Some clubs are dinghies only and can store hundreds of boats so keep up with those types of dinghy parks is a big job.

How is it that boats get to stay so long in a park, do the fees get paid and if not how do things go on so long?
Is it that there is little demand for space at a club and so little pressure on the club to clear out the dross, adding to the fact the fees are paid. Or does the storage go on all year round so no clear out and reapplication needed which gives a club a chance to assess the applicants for said spaces. We share the yard space with the big boats, summer for the small dinghies and winter for the big stuff, everyone in the club gets a turn when their need is greatest.

The best means of disposal is to donate them to some poor sucker as a flower planter. Failing that realistically all you can do is to chop them up in reasonable size pieces and take them to landfill. If you set fire to them the resulting fibres would be a pretty nasty health hazard, and the combustion products aren't wonderful either. |
