BOATING
LEARN TO SAIL
Welcome back to the docks everyone, and a special welcome to our new members!
A reminder about keeping safe on the docks:
children should be encouraged to not run on the docks, and consider having them wear a life jacket
no chairs should be put on the docks as it narrows the paths and increases the danger of falling
bicycles can be walked on the docks, but shouldn't be ridden
report any issues or broken dock pieces to the office if you see them so they can be fixed promptly
For the consideration of others:
tie your halyards away from the mast: to a shroud or something on the deck as this prevents the loud slapping noise against the mast when there is wind
it's always a good idea when leaving your boat to try to imagine what conditions would be like in a 30 kt wind - from any direction!
ensure the gate is closed behind you, except to hold it open if another member is right behind you ;)
Here's to a wonderful and safe boating season!
Please save the following dates on your calendar.
Shrink-wrap bin, April - April
Water available outside and on docks, April
Launch - Saturday, April
The fence in the parking lot will be removed on May
Also, please save Sunday, April as a possible rain date in case conditions make it unsafe for the crane to lift the boats. We will follow up with more details as the launch date approaches. The board and bridge are excited about the upcoming season, and we are working together to achieve a safe and successful launch.

Re: Shrink-wrap Re-cycling
This note is to alert you to RHYC shrink-wrap re-cycling guidelines for this spring. This change brings our club into alignment with Boating Ontario – Clean Marine best practices, and has been arranged by our Environment Committee working with RHYC operations staff to put in place policies that are already followed by most of the other yacht clubs in the province.
A bin will be delivered to the parking lot storage area on Friday April 1, and is intended to be used only for shrink-wrap disposal. If you have no re-use plans for your cover, please schedule its removal and disposal in the bin during the 2-week interval that follows.
To make this process work, we’re asked to separate all ropes, vents, vent wires and other foreign objects from the shrink-wrap. Those items should be placed in the club garbage receptacles. The shrink-wrap can then be bundled and placed in the designated bin. No other items should be disposed of in this bin.
If you have any questions, please check with Pascal.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Thank you for doing your part to improve our environment.
