Violations – Improperly Installed Dock Cleats

Improperly installed cleats cause stress and wear on our docks, resulting in premature deterioration of dock surfaces and support structures.  There are 54 total incorrectly installed cleats at this time.  The violations committee will conduct another inspection when the chains are removed from the gates this spring.

    Slip owners are required to replace or remove offending cleats at the start of the 2023 boating season and will be given 30 days after the club opening to complete this task. Slip owners will be charged accordingly for failure to complete the removal or replacement.

   If you are unable to complete this action, contact a director or Charlie Brown (violations director) for assistance and we will help you make arrangements to have the cleats removed.

   The following docks and the number on each dock that have improperly installed cleats that need to be removed:

3/4 (2) ,11/12 (2), 33/34 (1), 55/56 (4,) 63/64 (5), 67/68 (5), 79/80 (1), 81/82 (1),
