Crane Haulout notes
- Anthony Mirvish, Crane Committee Chair
____________________________________________________ LUNCH SCHEDULES AT HAULOUTThe haulout this year will be very demanding in terms of time, so we are asking all Saturday crews - especially the crane crews - to limit their lunches to 30 minutes. It is expected that both cranes will be working to 5 PM on Friday, the large crane to 5 PM on Saturday, and the small crane to 4 PM on Saturday.
Due to the mast-up haulout trial this year, there will be an additional move for the large crane around 11 AM Saturday morning. We normally schedule lunch to coincide with the crane move, but this year the move will occur too early for that. As the crane move takes about 40 minutes, we are using this time to schedule sequential breaks for both crane crews. The large crane crew will go first, with an approximately 20 minute coffee break, after which it will relieve the small crane crew for the same time, allowing the small crane to continue in operation. Please do not abuse the time limits. Both crews will have a long day on Saturday.
HAULOUT DIAGRAM IN LOBBY
A hard copy of the yard layout has been posted in the club lobby. Please do not remove the diagram. If there are any questions or concerns, or your boat does not appear, contact me immediately. We are hoping to have an electronic copy of the plan on the club's website by the time you read this.
BOAT MOVES ON BLUE AND WHITE WALLS
Boats currently in slips Blue 32-14 will be moved as necessary by this Thursday. Harbourmaster Paul Lefneski is coordinating this and will contact any boats that are affected by it.
Boats along White Wall from W1 to W8 will be moved to allow the large crane to haul its boats. CRADLES
Please have your cradle fully assembled by Wednesday night to allow for any last minute repositioning. Please respect your fellow club members' cradles as we have had instances where parts and bolts have been removed from cradles. This sort of action is extremely dangerous and can cause the collapse of a cradle.
PRE-HAUL MEETING FOR MAST-UP BOATS
There will be a meeting on Wednesday, October 16 at 8 PM in the clubhouse for the owners of all boats being hauled mast-up. Invitations have been sent to all members affected by this. Please attend. FIRST BOATS OUT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
E-mails have been sent to the first boats that will be hauled by crane on Friday. The list is as follows: FRIDAY LARGE CRANE (@ 9 AM)

A few notes on haul out:
Start time: Friday - 9:00am, Saturday - 8:00am and Sunday - 8:00am. Everyone should be on-site 30 minutes prior to start times.
In the rail yard you should assume that all boats come out at 8:00am. We need all hands to pull on the ropes and help on the tallow and cradle crews.
Haulout in the rail yard is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. Everyone must attend both days.
The Toronto Waterfront Marathon will be held on Sunday, Oct 20. I would suggest that you come early and plan to approach the club by travelling south on Coxwell and avoid Lakeshore and Eastern.

It's a busy time as we enjoy the last of summer and ready ourselves for haulout, but please ensure you spend a few minutes to think about those that go above and beyond, and if someone comes to mind ... Please send nominations to rearcom@abyc.on.ca and I'll ensure that they are forwarded to the appropriate parties for consideration. |
Restaurant and Regalia
- Mike Macdonald, VC Member Services
______________________________________________
Just a short note for haulout:
On Friday and Saturday we will be open for breakfast at 0700 hrs. We will make a decision on Sunday breakfast mid-afternoon on Saturday, depending on the progress made on Saturday.
Friday evening we will not be having Fine Dining, but we will have a full regular menu with a couple of specials.
This past Thanksgiving weekend Paul and Staff put on an outstanding buffet for just $18.95. I feel bad that it was not well advertised. The food was fabulous. Those that attended were treated to great Turkey, Ham and all the traditional trimmings. Next time we put on a buffet like this we will give lots of advance notice.
During haulout, Linda and the Regalia Team will have a table set up selling regalia. We will be selling off all of the old stock at a great discount to make way for new inventory. There will be a sampling of the new styles on the table. We have limited supply of new styles and you will be able to place orders if we do not have your style or colour available. As well, we have put in a display in Duffy's Lounge that will be available for sale from the bar shortly after haulout.
Coming up soon will be a new menu and wine list. We will let you know via S2S when they are ready.

Safety for Everybody!
- Stan Gap, Safety Committee
__________________________________________________________
The Safety Committee would like to remind every one to be safe. To that end we are making a few suggestions.
Please remember to clear your side decks and cockpit and also remove any bimini and dodgers. The sling crew needs to be able to move easily and safely around your deck. If you need to leave your boom out please secure it, preferably on the cabin top. I will be checking just before haulout and sending reminders.
Also make sure that the boat has bow and stern lines for the crews. They should be 50 feet long, one piece and of suitable diameter.
Regarding attire during haulout; in the rail-yard please wear closed shoes and work gloves. If you are on the crane crew wear a safety helmet and work gloves. Anyone moving cradles in the crane area should be wearing safety shoes. If you are on the water (boat riders, towboat crew, sling crew) wear a PFD, bringing your own is the best and most comfortable solution. When you enter the crane area, even just to supervise the placement of your boat on the cradle, please put on a safety helmet - the safety officer will have a spare.
Please insure that you understand what your job is, its responsibilities and what safety precautions are involved. If you have any concerns please talk to your crew chief, they are more then willing to explain to you. You can also talk to the Safety Officer present, they will be wearing orange safety vest and blue safety helmets.
Also, lets look out for each other, if you notice a hazard, warn others and inform the Safety Officer.
Be cautious when you move around the yard. There will be forklifts, trailers and tractors moving around. They have reduced visibility and restricted mobility so we need to watch out for them and not be in their way.
Please leave young children and pets at home. Haul-out is not a safe environment for them.
Let's have a safe Haul-out.

ABYC Junior Race Team makes most of long weekend!
- Coach Mike Goldfarb_____________________________________________
ABYC's Opti Race Team took advantage of the long weekend by having Fall Training sessions on Sunday and Monday. Twelve athletes came out to sail on Sunday. Rigging in the rain and having to get the boats (and coach boats) in to the water while dodging cradles, trailers and other haulout equipment. We managed to get a full session on the water with Coaches Carolyn Tait, Connor Bott and Mike Goldfarb. The weather was on our side and it didn't rain when we were out on the water.
Monday brought us sunshine and warm weather. Fifteen Optis were out for what was a summer like session, with Coaches Connor Bott, Mike Goldfarb and Guest Coach Gordie Budning. With the weather so nice, the athletes rushed to be on the water and had a full session working on a variety of skills. Before returning to the club, the two groups came together to compete in a few practice races. At the end of the third race, the athletes all asked for another race, wanting to remain on the water for a few extra minutes. It was a wonderful way to end a long weekend.
Despite haulout at ABYC, the Opti Race Team will continue to train for a few more weeks. To see some photos from the weekend check out our Facebook page, you don't need to have Facebook to view this page.

 One Girl's Ocean Challenge ________________________________________________ Last week, we reminded everyone that Diane Reid's race was scheduled to start last Sunday. Unfortunately some very heavy weather was moving in and the start was delayed for a few days. The following is the latest entry in Diane's Blog:
October 15, 2010
Status Red, status Orange or status Green. This is our new alert system to know when we are going to get a start. The long range forecast is for a potential start in 5 to 7 days!!! If they post a status red then we are "no start in the next 36 hours". If it's status orange then it's a possibility of leaving in the next 36 hours. If it's green then it's a possibility of going in the next 24 hours. Today we're status red.....it is what it is! OGOC Blog |
