New work party dates
To all of you who volunteered to work on Corinthian Yacht Club boats at our Shilshole Marina Location, please note the new work party dates:
November 24 & 25 - Shilshole CYC- from 9am to 2pm
December 1 & 2 - Shilshole CYC - from 9am to 2pm
FYI: The original work party dates that were listed in the October CYC Leadline (on page 11) had to be changed as my own full time work schedule has changed. Sorry about this but I hope to see you volunteers out in full force on the newly scheduled work party dates.
CYC's Puget Sound work boats are in need of repairs and cleaning. These boats are one of the most important components of our clubs' ability to provide our ambitious racing schedule each year. These boats have a hard life, they are used three to four days a week and many weekends for most of the year. They leave the dock in all weather conditions and are asked to keep our racing program running smoothly from January through October.
In short, time and hard work find our fleet in need of lots of work. Most of this work can be done by club volunteers. CYC is requesting for participation in the rehabilitation of the boats. If you are able to volunteer in ANY capacity please contact Dan Heyl via email. Without your help, these boats may not meet the call to set marks, start races or pluck cold wet crews out of the water in the upcoming season. We would like to make these work parties fun, informative and productive. Please do your part to help us accomplish this goal.
Here is a list of some of the work that needs to be done:
- Secure safety equipment as needed for all whalers.
- Haul out the sound whalers.
- Remove the deck winch from YC 5. Mount and plumb new deck winch.
- Remove steering system hydraulic lines (YC5). Replace steering system with new hose check valve and steering ram if needed.
- Remove broken window (YC5). Reinstall new window.
- Clean up vessel and generate ongoing work list (YC5).
- And More.....
Thanks and I hope to see some of you at the Shilshole CYC Clubhouse.
Please forward this email to your fleet members or friends who might be interested in helping us out.
Please send your potential work dates, comments or questions to both of my email addresses (listed below). Or call CYC at 206-789-1919. It would be very helpful if you include date(s) that can volunteer in your email so that I can gauge how many volunteers will be working Nov 24 & 25 and Dec 1 & 2.
