* For members with boats in our club boatyard. Due to the high usage of racks in the winter season, masts needs to be stored in a mast rack. A number not in the rack of their boat have been moved to accomodate incoming boats.
Mast racks are currently available at the top level of Bay 15, 16, 20, 22, 29, 35, 40, 41, and 42 and in mast racks above walkways between aisles.
Please write your sail number on the mast and spars.
If you cannot find your mast, please look for a bay in your row.
Additional mast racks are being considered. Please stay informed.
Also a number of unmarked boat trolleys not on boats have been moved to upper racks. It is essential that trolleys are clearly marked with the members name and boat. At some stage later in the year we will be looking to dispose of abandoned trolleys. Rod Thomas for ASC committee and members.
