WTF is a boat boy?

[AFD]

i was just looking through the rules at my new yacht club and it lists boat boys. never heard the reference.

:huh:

Beats me.

A person hired to clean and/or assist in minor duties maintaining a boat is sometimes referred to as a "boat boy".

 

[AFD]

the rules pertaining to them would make sense with that. i assumed it would be like Archer's Woodhouse, for thoses that get the reference

For some reason, I believe that term refers to the large rolling fuel tanks used to bring gas to you boat. I seem to remember something along those lines, though I could just be imagining it. Does the context fit that? If not, what is the context of the rule?

 

[AFD]

The context refers to a person, it was in the same subsection as mechanics and vendors visiting the club.
I thought those rolling fuelers were called gasboys

But without the obvious servant degradation and dehumanization... hopefully. :smt001

I'm not 100% sure but the wife keeps asking for one.

Yep, you are correct. It is gasboy. The real answer just seemed to obvious... So, what are the rules about boat boys?

Maybe we change the wording in the rules to read "boat persons"

 

[AFD]

Or just day laborer.

If it's anything like a cabana boy, I want one.

A few years ago, I kept my boat at a marina for the summer at the coast, using it as a floating weekend condo. One Friday, I took off early and found the boat next door being detailed by two bikini-clad young ladies from a local yacht service. I took off every Friday afternoon for the rest of the summer.
