Moving Trailers in Preparation for Haul Out
In preparation for haul out, over the next two weeks, members who have trailers in the yard are asked to either take them home, if possible; or, to ensure they can be easily moved (ie. no locks or blocks, tires inflated, cleared of loose material). Trailers will be moved to the grassed area along the South yard fence, as per the Spring.
Low Water Levels at NSC
Water levels are unusually low. if your boat has a draft of 5 ft. or more, please exercise extreme caution in the harbour and channel.
Please Clear Out Personal Items from the NSC Annex
If you have been using the NSC Annex (the club’s workshop) and have stored or kept items there, including outboards on outboard racks, you are requested to remove them before the end of this week please. Club staff will be cleaning and purging the facility beginning this week.
Parking At NSC
We have been contacted by the City of Ottawa Bylaw that they will be conducting a surveillance of the cars parked in the lots out front of the club. Visit the Member Services / Members Only Pages section to access and print a parking pass.
Volunteer Scuba Divers Requested
NSC needs to do a survey of the state of the chains securing our docks. A pair of qualified volunteer divers are being sought over the next few weeks to perform this survey. If you are qualified and available to help, please contact Gene Bruce for further details: gbruce at nsc.ca.
