whether at a mooring or at a dock, if unattended, will sink. Let's take their boats too!

Remember that piece of crap CHA-CHA, that Drake Paragon tried towing into Bermuda...?
who are the asshats?
This is a legal matter. Do local municipalities have jurisdiction over federal waters?
"soon after she arrived, it became clear that she wasn't being tended to"
"Last month, Mills appeared before Judge J. Russell Jackson in Newport Municipal Court "
So what does this say to the rest of us?
things happen
6+ months is long enough to wait, IMHO
well, if you want to talk about common sense
The Harbor Master isn't ruled by common sense
what I would do
That's asking a bit much
Also, the story said he's tried to contact the skipper
not asking too much at all
How do you, we, or the Harbormaster "know full well"...
there's no reason to think she'd sink
I suppose you're right...
that's just damaged fairing

Sooner or later

Absolutely! A boat left unattended on a mooring all season is irresponsible.
It's not even a US flagged vessel?
Jon is just trying to build the hype
...yeah, Jon wants it alright.
she IS an impressive boat
I met the skipper ...
you say that as if
he was weird even for the Newport cruising crowd....

you are damaging my reputation
At what point might your view change...?
my expectation
CHA CHA isn't listed as a US Flagged Vessel
Newport harbormaster
;^)))) in RI they take that shit seriously!
In RI, pee is OK, poop is a no-no.
Homeport on her transom, at least after being towed into Bermuda...
LOL! Ahh, if she were only 5 feet shorter...
You fly your own warning flags... wow I am impressed.
Jon, you will obviously need to buy a bigger house with more waterfront.
