A legal dispute involving an 80ft Dutch houseboat at a yacht club is before the courts, with former cruiser captain Stefan Oloffs accused of harassing the club’s commodore. Multiple reports describe the case as arising from tensions at Greenwich Yacht Club, where commodore Richard Phillips is said to have moored a houseboat valued at about £320,000. Oloffs is alleged to have made “malicious” or damaging claims about Phillips, including allegations that the commodore was avoiding barge or mooring fees. The matter is widely referred to by outlets as a “Barge Gate” saga. Oloffs and Phillips are both identified as yacht club members involved in the dispute, which is framed as a court fight over the alleged conduct and related claims following the mooring arrangement. The reporting focuses on the accusations and the background to the disagreement, but the outlets provided do not specify the procedural posture in detail or the final outcome. The case continues through the court process.
