Fuel Dock and Pump out News

The Board of Directors has regretfully accepted the resignation of Director, Roger Martindill and thank him for his work in preparing the fuel dock and meeting with the Committee on April 30th regarding Safety and Fuel concerns. We wish him a good summer sailing. 

The Board would like to announce the appointment of Steve Rouse as a Director. Steve will serve as the new director of Fuel Dock and Safety. Welcome Steve.  We trust that the committee will provide you with full support as we move into our active season. 

The Fuel dock will be open for pumping fuel starting Saturday May 14th at 8:00 am. 

The pump out will be started up Sat 14th May and available only whenever the Fuel Dock is open until the water pipe is replaced. It is self serve. 

Fuel Costs (post revised on May 6)

Everyone is concerned these days with the cost of fuel and serious discussions have taken place at the Board table. 

In order to offset price fluctuations in  tank fillings, the costs are routinely blended between the current and the newly filled tank. 

Calculations over at least the last nine years indicate consistent financial losses for the club, seven out of nine years. By unanimous Board motion, for the beginning of the 2022 season, a blended price increase of two cents per litre will be factored in to members’ cost.    This process will not cover the costs involved in all the club’s expenses to provide safe fuel handling.

Please consider your fellow members when determining the amount to fill in your vessel from the club tank at the first of this season.  

The prices are calculated based on the information below.

Prices on the bottom line are when the Fuel dock starts up and lasts until the next filling of the clubs tanks:  

  The following calculations are provided to the Membership for complete transparency:

  Nov 4 2021    Price to Members UNLEADED 1.54 DIESEL 1.38    

 Nov 4 2021   Volume in tanks UNLEADED 2504 L DIESEL 2935 L    

Nov 21, 2021  New Fill Total cost UNLEADED 1607.89 DIESEL 1710.74    

  Nov 21, 2021   Volume Purchased UNLEADED 1058.4L  DIESEL 1244.7L   

  UNTIL our Tanks REFILL- PRICE AT GYC in May :

UNLEADED  $1.55  DIESEL $1.40

(The $1.55 and $1.40 are corrected calculations on May 6, 2022. Thank-you for your understanding)

Add a Picture of Your Boat to Your Profile

At the suggestion of our Communications Director, Joseph, I have added “Boat Image” to a member’s profile. The image will appear on the boat detail popup.

  • Log on to the web site (you already are if you are reading this).
  • Choose “Edit Profile” – usually top right where it says “Howdy {member name}.”
  • At the very bottom, after Spouse, there is a new entry “Boat Image.”
  • Click on Browse and choose a file from your computer. Keep it small. 2 MB is the upload limit and it will be displayed max. 300 x 300.
  • Click on “Update User.”

If you already have an image of your boat as your profile picture, consider making that your “Boat Image” and upload a portrait. We display your profile picture on the member detail popup.

Launch Day Info

Launch will be starting at 8 AM starting with the small crane starting at Tom Chambers boat (the big trimaran Chambros Two by the south gate) and working clockwise around the west basin. Trailered boats will be launched after lunch from the North basin and can be brought in after the large crane moves.

Large crane will start in front of the club house at 8AM and work around to the gas docks. Alan Marshes boat will be launched from in front of the club house. Please  no parking out front of the clubhouse area up to the mast rack until these boats are launched. Large crane will start after lunch at the old gas dock.

We are continuing with the launch crews again. The crane operators found it worked much better and was safer having the same crews working together. Remember to be there approximately 1/2 ahead of time and make sure your boat is ready go, 30ft line on bow and stern and fenders set. 

More to follow later in the week.
