Your Help Is Needed

All members need to help with tasks to keep the club property in good condition and keep the club running well. Below are some tasks that committee chairs have identified that they currently need help with. You can also contact any of the committee heads to find out about additional needs.

 

Boats Committee

 

Race Committee

Contact Tim Gormley at Tim_klynn@yahoo.com if you want to help.

The Race Committee boat loves attention. Lately, only Steve Johnson is showing it any love.

If you can help out with any boat maintenance (even just washing and waxing) contact Steve or myself and we will get you set up.

 

There is a constant need for RC volunteers, we can train you if you don't have experience.

Being on the RC boat is the next best thing to sailing, your out on the water, hanging out with some interesting people and watching sailing up close.

The race marks could use some maintenance as well. I've got an orange cone for mark #6 that needs to be screwed on w/a dab of Quad caulk between the cone and the barrel (to help keep it from leaking at the screw holes). I changed out any non working batteries on the solar lighting early this year, but many of the lights looked like they won't make it through the season. The barrels have holes for the lights in them, so the easiest thing to do is to find replacement lawn and garden solar lights that will fit the same holes and seal up tight to the drum.

3 race marks don't have the new and improved stainless all thread intalled yet. We need to pick up some 5/8" dia rod 6' long and on a non race weekend, they will need to be hauled out and the rod installed/caulk in. We probably need nuts and washers as well.

Most of the races are set, but some of the goofy races have some pretty flexible formats. If you want to help out on these or have ideas for events (not limited to racing) let me know and we'll see if we can make it happen. On weekdays or weekends there are no races scheduled, feel free to set up some kayak or dinghy racing.
