STORAGE OF MAST. (s): Due to insurance regulations and court rulings, the Marina does not recommend the storage of boats with masts stepped on land. An un-stepped mast is defined as disconnecting standing rigging (removing clevis pins) and removing mast only and not the boom. Masts will be un-stepped at the owner’s own risk. Dangers of the vessel being blown over or damaged from wind load or ice build-up in the rig are too great a thread to the Marina and other stored vessels. Xxxxxx will not be held responsible for any boats stored with masts stepped. The Marina WILL NOT be responsible for wind vanes, turnbuckles, etc. Owners who wish to store their vessels with masts stepped on land must make separate arrangements with the Marina and the mast must be equipped with a plug type connector. Mast preparation in the spring – i.e. cleaning, washing, reinstalling spreader, checking lights, turnbuckles, halyards, etc. IS NOT included in this contract. This is the owner’s responsibility and if the owner is desirous of such service, then he is required to make appropriate arrangements with the Marina who will perform said service.
