A successful evening held at the RFYC Clubhouse

Late date change due to weather to Sunday 13th October

Same plan for Sunday lift-out as previously   –

The crane will arrive around 6:45am for setting up in the yard and the first lift will start promptly at 8am.  The running order can change on the day so don’t just turn up for the time slot allocated.

SAFETY –

• Keep yourself and others around you safe at all times.
• Life jackets to be worn by all skippers and crew.
• Be aware of the ongoing crane activities and avoid those areas unless you are directly involved.
• Under no circumstances walk under crane loads.
• Hard hats are compulsory for all in the yard and whilst on board boats working with slings and unstepping masts. Heavy gloves are recommended for handling slings and mast.
• If anyone calls you out on a safety concern – please mind any guidance they give you with a smile and a thank you.

SKIPPERS –

• Ensure your boat is ready with fenders and long fore and aft lines at the STARBOARD side.
• Once you’ve arrived at the west pier please listen to sling instructions and know the sling positions for your boat.

ALLOCATED FCYC ROLES –

• George will be overseeing the lift-out schedule working with the crane banksman.
• We will organise other members to manage the Dumbo crews, taglines and ensure skippers have crews.

BELL BLOCK CAFE (Volunteer/s Request to Assist Linda) –

• Linda Pennycook will very kindly be running the Bell Block Cafe through the day. Please let us know if you are able to assist Linda with the catering.
