Follow up on Borrowed Boats
No list required. Any boat borrowed and damaged during club related use just needs an email to Chubb or Gowrie about the claim.
Fleet Insurance
Charter Boats can be covered if it is Hatteras Sailing offering the charters, lessons, etc. No Bareboat Charter only Captained. Non Profit needs to benefit from the Charter Revenue in some way. Other boats that are Privately Owned and Leased to and used by the Club for Instruction, Programs, Rentals etc. are normal procedure for the policy.

Adjournment
Board Members were review all the remaining business. We will have a 2 week push on the Registrations and then move for some motions, seconds, approvals or debate about some of this via virtual communications.
If anyone remembers something that I left out, please send me a note and we will correct the minutes. They need to be voted on and approved a the next opportunity. I will give it a week from today for any suggestions or modifications.
