Dinghy raid to LDSC
Dear Sailors, we have an unofficial adventure sail planned for August 7th from NSC, up river to LDSC. There we are invited to beach / moor and enjoy the lawn and grounds at LDSC with their members. This is not a race, although I am sure some spirited sailing may result. Fancy dress is not mandatory, but pirate theme is encouraged :-)
Bring a picnic and beverage of your choice. Great opportunity to meet members from another club off the water, while getting there by boat.
Full instructions here.

Reminder on dock overhang and bumpers
Members assigned a wet mooring are reminded to ensure their boats are moored such that there is no overhang over the main dock span (ie. bows, anchors, pulpits). As well, there is only one type of authorized dock bumper that can be installed as other designs will cause our newly decked docks to rot prematurely. Please check with Gene Bruce or James Pole for the specifications of the bumpers.
