Boats are to be trailered in the order they are lined up at the dock. Please do not cut in front of the boats that are closer to the dock. Please drop someone off at the dock to get your tow vehicle ready to so you can quickly pull your boat out when it is your turn. Pull your boat off the ramp as soon as you can and complete your tie downs and clean up off the ramp so the next person can proceed. Please obey these rules and the officials of the civic club when launching or removing your boat. Please help to keep boating at the civic club a pleasurable experience.
