For the Trailer owner’s, just a reminder make sure that a copies of your keys are with the emergence keys box that Paul Morrow keeps in his possession. Paul, John, and I have finish the walk through and trailer checking make sure that you have a 10lb Fire extinguisher and working smoke alarm (see page 35 moorage rule 17). We also check for backflow valves, and wastewater drop. Also that moorage rule 17 is not being violated with extension cord on your deck. John that did the walk around with Paul and myself, checking that all the trailers had backflow preventers on the water systems. They were also checking the general conditions of the trailers. They will be creating a report of the Board of their finding and I believe contacting any owners with issue that were noted.
I think that I have taken care of all the issue with moorage but IF I HAVE MISSED any please contact me. You can check your moorage on the moorage board at the YotPot, as it will be updated once more June 22nd (this is the third printing this year) Also be aware that I will be out checking for current OR registration on the laser rack as we are receiving request for slip by the water, If you do not have current OR on your watercraft it will be moved to the new back rack. I am doing this as you are not using you watercraft and are using a slip of great value (see moorage rule 11:a) So this is the biggest issue will be the Laser rack as I have several people that would like to have a moorage in the laser rack. So if you do not wish to lose your laser rack moorage then get current OR numbers. I have had several people send me scans of the temporary registration and that will work. At this time there are several watercraft without current registration in the rack. For wet moorage please check you lines and snubbers and do now use the small one as we have seen several failure of large watercraft with under size snubbers and the end results is not pretty. When you compare the cost of snubbers to boat repair snubbers are cheap get good ones.
As you are using your boat and are moored on the docks, please look at the hoops, pins, hinges, and tie-bars for the hinges and if you see cracks or other item that need attention please take care of them – If it is above your skill level please contact Paul Stephens, or you can email me and I will forward to Paul. On C dock look under the mats that cover the hinge points and the small hinges.
Also please do not leave your boats in the center island. Last weekend there were several boats. Please move to ROW J along the fence. This is for car parking and not boat storage as we are into the sailing season. I will be doing the walk around for moorage please have your boats in their correct summer moorage as this makes the job a little easier.
The last piece of news is that moorage location TR O8 has been issued to Randy Smith.
Happy Sailing hope to see you at the club
