That's taxi driver tactics!
Turning out to be rather a sad tale. I hope something can be done for them.

Quite something that 200 families will be "homeless" by then.
Why don't they just, like, sail away? (I know nothing of boathouse logistics)

Kids in school, employment, commute to work, lack of new mooring sites. Lots of reasons.There is no other mooring option in DB itself. It is like telling everyone in a block of flats to move because they are knocking the block down. Not that the DB management would consider any of that for a second.
Debentures, moorings, club memberships, none of them seem worth paying a large lump sum up front as what can be guaranteed? Month by month costs OK, but no more.
Thing is, these folks are far more educated than the regular joe. I am sure they have a few lawyers, bankers and others who have access to experts or able read / qualify the risk on these agreements.
Seriously wonder what went wrong here... surely people did not sign off on millions of dollars worth of debentures or agreements that could be terminated unilaterally at such short notice? Would the Marina management have accepted termination from their tenants on such short notice?
