DINGHY FLEET ROUND-UPDOLLIES - ONLY USE UBC SAILING CLUB DOLLIES!
Or an ORANGE JERICHO DOLLY for that one FJ waiting for its proper dolly. Case in point: recently a UBC sailor took a Jericho member's personal Laser dolly (clearly marked with her name) from the beach to store a UBC FJ. The dolly could have been damaged by the heavy FJ, but worse, while the Laser sailor frantically searched for her dolly, her $6000 boat drifted away, and very nearly lost a $600 daggerboard. You will be held liable for damage to other JSCA members' personal equipment.
Read the label, use the right dolly.
