GYC Launch – Saturday June 5th May 2021
Dear GYC Members,
Please read carefully:
There are crews organized for each crane in the morning as well as the afternoon. The schedule is being finalized and will be e-mail to all members shortly. This keeps our numbers down on the property, keeps everyone safer and keeps us within the rules at this unprecedented time. Thank-you for understanding. The Board is trying to do its best.
Included with this email is a list with your launch time, your check in gate and cell # for the gate crew.
Arrive at least 30-45 minutes ahead of your launch time. (Those at 8am should arrive 07:40am).
Remember that launch can get ahead of schedule, or behind schedule, so please be patient and ready to go when you’re called in. If you are not able to attend the launch of your boat, you must notify the Launch & Haul out Director Mike Forcier at mike@greybrucelaw.ca or his office at 519-372-0722 no later than Friday June 4th 2021. If any questions or concerns, contact Mike. If there is a problem you can also reach Mike at 519-372-5960.
Fenders, lines, and sling pads must be in place by Friday evening. You must have a bow and a stern line at least 30’ long. Please lead them down so they are accessible from the ground.
Our major contact from the gate crew to you will be your cell phone and preferably by text, otherwise a cell call. Please make sure your cell phone is up to date on the attached list of captains and boats. Please call Becky 519-373-6101 by Thursday at the latest with correct cell phone so the list can be updated for the gate crews. If you have no cell phone, then tell us that too.
There will be one person working each gate.
Please park outside the property, as near your assigned gate as possible. When you arrive at the vicinity of the club property, notify the gate crew by text or cell phone call (or walk up to speak to them at the gate) . You will be directed by the gate crew to drive into the club just prior to your launch time. Please remain in your car and wait it out folks. (No family/friends this year).
The gate crew will be in touch with the crane crew with walkie talkies to coordinate boat captains in time for their launch.
You will be offered hand sanitizer at the gate entrances. We require members to wear a mask to protect your selves and your fellow club members and the crane crew. There will be garbage available for safe disposal of gloves or face masks should you choose to wear them. Please bring your own mask if possible.
Once your boat is launched, each boat captain will check their boat to insure a dry bilge and lines are secured, and moves vessel as necessary. The Captain then leaves the property and can return late in the day or the next day.
Checks will be performed at the end of the day to ensure boats are safe and secured.
Emergency sump pump will be up in the upper doorway of the clubhouse in case of emergency.
Cradle moving will take place Saturday June 6th 9:00am Names are to be painted on all cradles. No ladders to be left attached to cradles.
Reminder to all members preparing their boats:
