Dock Update:
Reminder that all boats should be out by Saturday, October 29th.
As a result of the new club house footprint, it has been determined that there will no longer be space on the property for winter dock storage. Starting in the fall of 2012, all docks will be stored in the water up Bailey’s Creek. In order to prepare the docks to survive winter storage in the water, it’s necessary to replace the current flotation system with tubs (similar to what is used at the Parker Avenue town docks) this fall. All existing wood will now be approximately 1″ out of the water significantly extending the life of our docks. In addition to the new flotation system, all hardware (fittings/hinges) will also be replaced adding to longer life, creating greater stability and improved saftey for all club members.
Thus, we really just need a clubhouse and grounds winterizing crew on Saturday. You can leave your hard hats at home. And we’ll be done in no time. 10AM!! It’s a new day.
Many thanks to our dedicated dock crews over the years who have put hours into putting in and taking out with our the help of our loyal crane operator. Those were the days…
Dear Cohasset Sailors,
As we reflect on the golden days of summer there are many accomplishments that as a club we should be proud of:
New Clubhouse update: Destination Homeport
The fundraising team has been working hard this summer. There have been several events that have brought in much needed donations. Our annual auction at the launch party and Estate Sail have added to our fund for our new clubhouse along with many generous donors. We still have a ways to go… we need your support! Please contact our fundraising chair, Diane Shipp. You can call 383-9198 to become a supporter.
Thank you to all for a wonderful summer,
Sandy Crough, Commodore
We would like to know how we did this summer! Did we fulfill your goal of learning to sail (or your son’s or daughter’s)? Were there enough social events? Were the facilities/grounds kept to your satisfaction? Please complete the poll below and leave us a comment with your thoughts on how the summer went from your perspective!
Thanks in advance for your input!
Here is the trailer that was released tonight at Closing Ceremonies. New this year is the inclusion of video footage taken by the sailors themselves; see what sailing at the Sailing Club is like through their eyes! Donations of $15 are appreciated and all funds raised from the DVD go back to help support the junior program! Contact John DeWaal (jtdewaal@comcast.net) to pre-order a copy of the DVD which is planned to release in October.
Last week the 420 race teams from CSC and CYC held a friendly, fun regatta just off the Adams estate. The breeze was beautiful and 13 420′s sailed for several hours enjoying the camaraderie from across the harbor. CSC hosted a cookout afterward and awards ceremony. We hope to continue this tradition each summer.
All rain and no sun? No problem! Find out what a rainy day at the CSC is like from a sailor’s point of view. There will be more videos and pictures coming out in our end of the summer DVD. Pre-orders will be taken during Closing Ceremonies this Thursday, August 18th.
Check it out in the “Classified Ads” section of the website!
Just because Fun Day is over, doesn’t mean sailing is! We still have 2 full weeks of sailing lessons to go before the end of the season and there is still plenty left to do. Here is a list of a few things to mark on your calendar:
Junior Program Note: Progress reports will be sent out soon to those students who have missed too many classes and/or have not passed the written test. Please see an instructor at the club if you have any questions about the requirements for your sailor continuing on to next year’s level.
