In-water winter boat storage

To All Members

 

As many of you know, I have been advocating in-water winter boat storage at ABYC for several years, and there appears to be a reasonable level of interest within the club.  My belief that this offers ABYC a viable alternative to on-land storage is based on the practices of many other clubs in the area.

In the interests of gauging ABYC member support for this idea, Vice-Commodore Bob Hedley and I have discussed the way forward, and he has asked me to assemble a list of members who are interested or could be interested in leaving their boats in the harbour over the winter.  There are several clear alternatives to be explored for protecting boats from ice damage. 

Member comments; pro or con, are valuable, especially if you have some direct knowledge or specific concerns regarding in-water storage. 

Please address them to me at alworkman@sympatico.ca

Member Contribution Committee
- from Jamie Donaldson
__________________________________________________________________

Hi everyone!  I hope Haulout was uneventful for all; I discovered a lakeload of zebra mussels that had attached themselves to fleur du lac's bottom ... one of the benefits of being close to the treatment plant, I guess.

 

I have some reports to give from our committee:

 

1) "Blue card" work reporting.     

We have compiled the hours reported on blue cards through Nov 5.  I have posted the list in the signal room, listed this time by member name.  The contributions from Associate Members do not appear this time; they will reappear at the end of the year.  Another change is that the total is only given up to the required 20 hours; if you want to know what your total recorded hours are, ask me.

 

Please remember that unless you report your contribution hours, they will not get recorded.  May I also ask again for those who have completed their 20 hour commitment, and those that do not have this requirement, to keep reporting their contributions as well - it is important to have a good record of the real amount of work we do in the Club!

 

To new Senior members - your expected number of hours is prorated to the amount of the calendar year you have been a member.  The expectation of hours can be met by you, your spouse, your children, or a combination of these.

 

2) "Yellow card" Haulout survey.

Thank you all for completing this second survey!  We are compiling the results and will report on them soon.

 

3) Moving forward.

We are happy to report that we have found an on-line work management solution, and will be testing it out over the next couple of months, hoping to have this implemented for 2013.  If all works as planned, this will: (1) allow you as a member to find out what jobs (physical and otherwise) are available, with the required skills noted; (2) allow you as a member to sign up for jobs you find attractive; (3) allow you as a member to record your contribution hours; (4) allow you as a work party leader to advertise for help, and to approve members' requests to contribute; (5) allow you as a committee chair to do the same; (6) allow the Board (and whatever the member contribution committee evolves into) to monitor member contributions over the year. Stay tuned ....  

 
LYRA Annual General Meeting
