October 29 is the Annual NSC cooperative haulout day for some trailered boats. To make the process run smoothly, the Yard will be closed to vehicle traffic. Members can still access the Yard on foot and use dock-carts. The group anticipates being finished by noon and access will return to normal.
Attention members who are still sailing at night: the lights from all channel marks, and the bifurcation mark, have been removed for the winter. Additionally, the outer red and green channel marks have been removed and replaced with temporary white marks. Please proceed with caution.
Found today on the comma dock. A beige coloured main sail cover. Come claim it at the office.
NSC’s annual Turkey Trot pursuit race ran on Thanksgiving Monday, October 10, on a beautiful sunny day. The winds were initially very light, which meant the course was only once around, though a shifty northwest wind at 6-12 knots filled in shortly after the first boats crossed the start line.
Work is already underway in the Yard and Harbour to prepare for Fall and Haulout. There are important milestone dates for Member Boat-Owners in the Harbour, Park and Trailer Launch areas.
The NSC yard will be closed to regular vehicle traffic beginning Tuesday, 11 October.
NSC’s Social Day-cruising program underwent a post-pandemic reboot this season. Cruising sailors were finally able to gather again to enjoy time on the water, good company and the wonder of wind propulsion.
Members, please note that construction is underway on the road leading to NSC from Carling Avenue. During the resurfacing of the road, please proceed with reduced speed and caution.
As you make plans for haul-out, please keep in mind that the club prefers you store your mast on top of your boat over winter. The mast storage racks are not for general use and you need permission to use them – please read on for details.
