Vessel Cleaning. Scrub and rinse your boat often. A quick rinse after each outing reduces the need to scrub the top-side with harsh cleaners. If cleaners are used, no visible suds or discoloration of the water are permitted. Spot clean or use small amounts of phosphate-free and biodegradable soaps only when necessary. Otherwise, use alternatives such as baking soda or vinegar as all-purpose cleaners. Remember there is no legal discharge of any cleaner into our waters.
Vessel Cleaning. If the hull, gear, wheel house, furnishings or equipment of the Vessel become contaminated or soiled by petroleum products in connection with, or by substances used in, the Oil Spill Response Work during a Voyage Charter, other than by reason of the Vessel Owner’s breach of a term of this Agreement or an act of negligence or wilful misconduct by the Vessel Owner or its employees or agents, WCMRC will inspect the Vessel for purposes of its insurance and, following such inspection:

Surface Preparation and Refinishing Painting and refinishing of boats (when in the water) is limited to minor touch-ups. All work must be contained. Major work involving more than 25% of the boat above water surface areas must occur on land at the boatyard. Schedule cosmetic work during annual haul-outs. Tarps must be used to capture all dust, drips and debris. Any discharge to xxxxxx xxxxxx is a violation of State and Federal law. Airborne particles may damage adjacent boats. The open water area between the hull and the dock must be tarped during rail or minor hull work. The intention of the marina is that no dust or paint chips get into the water or on the ground at any time. All sanding on the exterior surfaces of the boat must be done using a vacuum sanding system. No by hand wet or dry sanding is allowed in the marina and boat yard. Work should not occur from a float or small boat unless properly tarped on all surfaces and only with the proper written approval of GHMB. Limit use of paint, thinners and varnish on board or on the dock to containers of one gallon in size or smaller. All paint mixing must be done inside the vessel or onshore – not the dock or the deck of the vessel. Open cans should be placed inside some type of secondary containment that will catch spills. A five gallon bucket or plastic tote works well for this purpose. Spray painting is absolutely not allowed while boats are in the water, nor elsewhere in the Marina and boatyard.
