GYCers,

Lots of us will be using the mast crane over coming days.  There have been reports that the clutch on the crane is not working reliably.  Take this into account when you use the mast crane, and be extra attentive and careful concerning the clutch.  One person should monitor this at all times when lowering a mast.

We lowered the flag at the club for the passing of the past Commodore, Laurie McConnell.  You can view his obituary at the Brian Woods Funeral Home site.
