Rope “Trick”

Sorry if most of you already know this, but it was new to at least a few members.

If you have two mooring lines looped over one bollard or cleat and you lay the second on top of the first, they have to be removed in reverse order. You can’t take off the first one without removing the second.
But, if you feed the second one UNDER the first (see the picture) they can be taken off in any order. Try it! It’s magic.

Two mooring lines using the same bollard

It could be used when two boats  share a bollard. Regardless of the order in which they arrived, they can leave without removing the neighbouring boat’s line.

 

Full Member Applications

There are two pending applications for full membership (to the “B” list) in the club.  Further to Article 2.2 d) and e) of the Club By-laws, Rules and Regulations, notice of an application is to be made on this website and the Clubhouse Bulletin Board for a minimum of 30 days.  Members may communicate to the membership committee (membership@georgianyachtclub.com) or the Board prior to the Board considering these applications.  The 30 day notice period extends past the date of the next regular Board meeting on June 4th, after which the Board goes into “summer mode”.   As a result these applications may not be considered until the regular September Board meeting unless the Board arranges to meet during “summer mode”.
