Docking; All boats must be docked bow in (or out, your choice).



Fenders; All fenders must match in color and shape.



Dock boxes; All dock boxes must be the same size, color and shape and must be placed as directed by the club president.



Dress code; Consider a dress code for anyone on the premises.



You can make this club a real showplace with these rules.

Fantastic! Thanks!

Wait a minute, OP! Didn't you agree that the barnies spent a period free floating before becoming attached to their permanent home? Doesn't much matter if it is days, weeks or months, for if it is true, your neighbor's boat is not gonna be the source of barnies that attach to your boat. The larvae from his boat have drifted away to attach somewhere else.

To me, this reduces your passionate argument to a matter of aesthetics... you don't like the look of the boats with foul bottoms. Perhaps that is a valid concern, but I think it unseemly to couch your objection with pseudo science and claim harm from the neighbor's slothfulness.

I've found the supporting literature already.
I'm working on my gestapo plan.
I'll let you know!

The Gestapo reference is quite adequate in this case.

Wouldn't be a dream vision all boats clean and painted on the same colors?

Oh yes, and all of us yotties wearing white ducks and blue blazers with shiny buttons. Sheer paradise...

One color, one religion. All the same. Sad.
