Re: Then what?

superglue in the lock accompanied by a pleasant note to request he move his boat as its blocking access ..... but mention it couldnt be done by others earlier on his behalf as it was locked.
this should cause enough nause and confusion for him hopefully to be more wary next time....... but what if the perpatrator is reading this now, is in fact a forumite, please disregard my post as being totally out of order

Re: Then what?

Jape. Oh No. As you are leaning over the stem of the offending dinghy and rattling the chain and padlock saying "inconsiderate prick" you slip your own on, unseen.
Only do it with the old ones you don't trust any more.(erm, padlocks, that is)

I frequently padlock my tender to a pontoon. I use an old shroud, so the tender invariably ends up at the back of the pack.

I must admit I get fed up with the twits who tie up tight onto the pontoon; I just don't know why everybody doesn't put a long line on for parking purposes. I've been tempted, on more than one occasion, to undo all the short painter boats and tie them up in one long line.

Re: um, see your point but...

It could just as easily be the owner of one of the trapped dinghies that's "the guy with pregnant wife on board had to come ashore to help look for the other child.............." and needs to get back quickly!

a near limitless number of dingies can be tied on if all on long lines. Bit of a faf getting your out but whatever...
