Hi there,
Our marina recently changed hands and there's some debate as to the meaning of the following two clauses;
A) This agreement is a revocable license only and shall not be transferred or assigned by the Owner to another vessel or to a new owner thereof without the prior written consent of the Marina which consent may be withheld.
and,
B) A person purchasing a boat which is designated on a contract shall acquire the rights to that boat’s moorage and the balance of its contract year, subject to marina management approval.
Clause A seems to imply that when one sells their boat, the new owner can keep the boat in the same slip...unless the marina wants it gone for whatever reason.
Clause B seems to imply that when someone buys a boat that has moorage, that the new owner can keep the boat in the slip for the remainder of the contract year. It also seems to imply that the new owner "shall aquire" the ability to renew the moorage after the original owners contract year runs out...unless the marina wants it gone for whatever reason.
Lots of wiggle room, eh?
Will be dropping in to have a chat with them soon, but wanted to plumb the depths of TF wisdom on this beforehand.
