ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Notice is hereby given that the Annual General Meeting of the members of the Sudbury Yacht Club will be held at The Northbury Hotel, 50 Brady St, Sudbury, on Sunday December 1, 2019, at 5:30 p.m. for the following purposes:
By order of the Board of Directors Fellow Sudbury CPS Members,
Members interested in long-distance sailing will not want to miss the upcoming showing of "Maiden" at the Sudbury Indie Cinema, 162 Mackenzie St. "Maiden" is the tale of the first all-female crew to enter the Whitbread Round-the-World yacht race in 1989. This gripping, award-winning film will be featured on Thursday, October 17 at 3pm and again on Sunday, October 20th at 2 pm. For more information call Sudbury Indie Cinema at 705 674 0000. This is a rare and not-to-be-missed opportunity to witness a historic achievement in long-distance sailing history! Happy Thanksgiving all! Rick Cooper for the Sudbury Bridge The closing work parties are scheduled for the next two weekends: October 5-6 and October 12-13.
Please make an effort to come out to help with all the chores needed to close the club and make everything secure for the winter. MOB's: just a reminder that this coming weekend is mast unstepping (Sat & Sun) with the haul out the following Friday. There is a member (Ryan M.) looking to unstep his mast on Friday as well (See Amanda F's post to this group). **Please have your boom down before Saturday so we can get as many masts down as possible without delay**
HAUL-OUT: If you are taking advantage of the crane please inform Liam and try to make it down to help Friday afternoon. Prior to haul-out please ensure the following: ⚓ Mast is down and rigging is properly removed or secured (ex. stays are secured) ⚓ Trailor is in good working condition (ex. tires inflated, jack working, hitch lubricated). Trailors were moved today to get ready and there were a number without jacks etc. Jacks are available for sale at Canadian Tire. Trailors without jacks are dangerous to the volunteers and have resulted in injury in the past. ⚓ Trailor is labeled/somehow identifiable so the crew know which trailor to bring down for each boat ⚓ Rudder removed or tillar free to ease steering of boats from slips to crane ⚓ Tag lines on bow and stern (20 ft) stern on starboard side (for towing and holding at dock before crane) Note: while it is up to each member to winterize their vessel, we recommend that outboard motors are removed asap. There were a number of thefts last year (fall and spring) Greetings fellow boaters!
As you know, CPS courses are thorough and up-to-date. But there isn't a chapter in any of our books which tells you what to do when your rudder falls off... especially in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. What happens next? Here's the scoop: What: Fall Haul-out social featuring Karen and Tim Ruthenburg's presentation, "Sailing from the North Channel to Australia." When: Thursday, October 24, 7 p.m. Where: 46 North Brewery, 1275 Kelly Lake Road, Sudbury (snacks provided, no charge for admission). [46.5221 deg N / 80.9530 deg W] In 2017 the Ruthenburg's set sail from the North Channel bound for Sydney, Australia, where at the end of their voyage they parted company with their trusty CS 36 sailboat, "Vata". On October 24 they'll share their adventures with us at the annual Fall Haul-out. Admission is free, the beer (brewed in-house) is outstanding, and this is an excellent chance to meet the local Bridge, share your suggestions, hear about upcoming courses, and meet other boaters! Don't miss it! Happy tarping and anti-freezing, Rick Cooper for the Sudbury CPS Bridge Please check the calendar tab for the latest update.
