Rules and Guidelines

  1. The fleet size is limited to 60 boats, roughly split between boats from District 16 and boats from outside the district.
  2. The allocation for out-of-district boats was reached in late February 2009.
  3. The allocation for boats from D16 filled in late March 2009.
  4. Reservations received after the allocations were filled are entered onto a waiting list.
  5. Invoices will be mailed in October 2009 and payment in full is due by 01 January 2010.
  6. Current status (accepted or wait list) of registrants can be found on the Roster page.

Waiting Lists and Procedures

  1. Boats that have not made their payment by 01 January 2010 will be removed from the reservation list.
  2. Boats from the waiting lists will be notified that they are eligible for inclusion into the cruise fleet and an invoice will be sent, payable in full within 15 days.
  3. This process of pulling boats from the waiting list will continue until 60 boats have made their payments or 01 August 2010, at which time the fleet will be closed.

Passengers Looking for a Ride

  1. Two classes of "riders" are expected:
    a) "Day Riders", who have booked their own overnight sleeping and shore-side eating arrangements.
    b) "Shared Expenses Riders", who are asking boat owners to provide sleeping facilities and meals while onboard.
  2. Both classes of riders will pay the Per-Person fee.
  3. The "Shared Expenses Riders" and the boat captain negotiate on whether or not the rider pays for some of the boat's expenses.
  4. People without a boat looking for a ride on someone's boat can signup as "Looking for a Ride" and their names and e-mail addresses will be displayed on the Ride Sharing page.
  5. Captains willing to take Day Riders or Shared Expenses Riders will have their names and e-mail addresses displayed on the Ride Sharing page of the web site.
  6. The two groups need to check the Ride Sharing web page to make the connection.
  7. The Cruise Committee will stay out of the hookup arrangements.
  8. Boats taking on Passengers Looking for a Ride are not given any special preference if on a wait list.
