2. INSURANCE: Boat Owners are responsible for fully insuring their boat and equipment against damage or theft, along with full coverage for any and all injuries to crew, passengers, or guests. In the event that Boat Owner, crew, passengers, or guests should make a claim for any injury or loss whatsoever while moored at the Put-in-Bay Yacht Club docks, Boat Owner agrees to present said claim to his/her insurance carrier for satisfaction or reimbursement and will hold the Put-in-Bay Yacht Club harmless from any such claim.

The regulations and limitations also apply to vehicles of the boat owner, family, or guests.

4. WASHROOMS: Washrooms are for personal use only. They are not to be used for dishes, laundry, or dumping of self-contained toilet units.
