Good News: We have made plans to replace the wooden decking on the “inner sections” of both Dry Sail docks. The “inner sections” are the ones that connect the main “T” to shore. You may recall that these sections are disconnected each year when the harbour is closed, usually the 1w or 2w of November.
As the season winds down, please consider how the date you choose to haul out your boat has a significant impact on when you should expect to launch in the Spring. Please read our new Harbour and Yard post that explains why you should care.
For anyone who plans to use either of the NSC standing cranes, attending one of the “Crane Familiarization Sessions” is mandatory. If you plan to attend, please meet at the North Crane at 5:30 p.m. on September 23, 2015. Ross Laver will be hosting a “Member Orientation” that evening, starting at 7pm which might also…
A gentle reminder that, but for three exceptions, parking in the Yard is not allowed during the boating season.
The accident in a Gatineau marina on July 12 is a reminder for us all to put “Safety First”.
Please be advised that the Quyon cable ferry has started operation. The ferry uses a submerged cable connecting the old ferry terminals at Quyon (Quebec) and Mohr’s Landing (Ontario).
With the help of 12 volunteers, the installation of NSC’s “Goose Guard Mk 4’s” was completed this morning. For all you Geese out there, this is it, your final eviction notice to leave our Dinghy Docks (we hope!).
Unfortunately, it was a pretty wet evening last night, a little too wet to stand outside and learn about Cranes. While a few Members were on hand, we agreed to move the session to Saturday May 30 at 1pm. If you’d like to join, please meet near the South Crane at 12:45pm.
You’ve done a great job getting your boats ready and launched! Many thanks for the hard work and also to the Service Providers for floating that many hulls. We were able to open the Sailing School and Dry Sail Park more or less on time so, thank you.
With many thanks to a group of 15 volunteers led, once again by Mike Lee, the NSC Harbour is now open for 2015.
