Launch Work Party for Boats on Trailers
If you keep your boat on a trailer and would like help launching, we have organised work parties for Sunday May 1 and Sunday May 8. This is a great opportunity to meet fellow members while receiving a helping hand with your launch not to mention getting your boat in the water early and out of the yard which is a HUGE help to unlocking the yard gridlock. Email Parke Davis for more details and to sign up for the morning or afternoon session.
