[Public-List] No Anchors

[Rod Symmes]

I have been thinking about the NO  ANCHOR ON THE BOW.

I can't help wonder if there is more to the rule than   “All anchors shall be removed from the bow and stored below”.

I wouldn't be surprised if the concern isn't members tied up at the club with their anchors hanging over the dock and constituting a hazard to people walking the docks.  Liability may be the real issue.   If this is the case, it would seem to me to be more useful to require boats to either tie up  further back in the slip or stern to.  This would be more effective than removing the anchor - some of those roller / mounts would still be obstructing the dock.

Does that sound too sensible ?   (-:

My two cents

Cheers,     Rod
