Vol. From the Commodore: 39 No. 12 December 2010 Cheney Lake, KS This Month B.O.G. Meeting 2 Calendar 2 Social 4 Classifieds 6 From the Editor: Please note the deadline schedule -Announcements of scheduled events (such as dinners and races), ads, must be received by Thursday, January 6th. -Only items on IBM formatted discs or e-mail will be accepted until 6:00 p.m Monday, January 10th. Winter is obviously here and Christmas is just around the corner. I hope many of you plan to join us for the Christmas party next week. I was at the lake this weekend and noticed a number of boats on C, D and E slips. Please move your boats to A or B slips as soon as possible. Given the recent winds we have had, it is also important to check your boats on a regular basis to make sure they are secure and all the tarps and halyards are tight. During the month of December, the BOG will be developing budgets for each committee. It will take the combined efforts of all members to help control costs as we expect revenue to be flat or possibly lower than last year. Your stewardship of our club is the basis for our success over the years and is why we have the premier sailing facility in the Midwest. Our Catalina 30 Silk Degrees is located at slip A9. Please stop by for a visit when you get the chance. I look forward to serving the club this year and welcome your thoughts and suggestions any time. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Steve notices: * Afterdeck Reservations If you are interested in reserving the Afterdeck for NSA activities or renting the facility for a private function, please contact Past Commodore Tom Olsen via e-mail pastcommodore@ninnescah.org or phone 316-722-4301 * Yard space Maintenance Yard spaces need to be maintained all year round.

From the Harbormaster - Wetslip Use In the Winter: Sadly, another prime sailing season is coming to an end. After a slow start getting the boats in the slips due to the high water, this summer produced some fine sailing days. With winter approaching, I feel it is necessary to remind all sailors with boats in the slips of the following: Slip plumbing will soon be disconnected and winterized. Do not reconnect the plumbing as this may allow the water to freeze and plumbing to burst. All garden hoses should be removed from the docks or they will be discarded. The pressure washer by the crane will remain in service through the winter, but the user should bring a gallon of low-toxic engine antifreeze (not the pink kind) and know how to winterize the sprayer. When freezing temperatures arrive, call the Property Manager if you plan to use the sprayer. Failure to correctly winterize the sprayer may cause damage by freezing water internally. The restrooms east of the Afterdeck will soon be locked for the winter. The pit toilet toward the shelter house will remain open. Whether your boat is in the slip or the boatyard, do not use unattended heaters, secure all halyards away from masts, remove the sails, and clear the cockpit drains. If your boat is left in the water, double your dock lines, check your boat every two weeks, and notify the Harbormaster if you are going to use a de-icer. It will need to have an operating thermostat and a fee will be charged to cover the cost of electricity for the equipment. After December 15 th, all boats are to be removed from C, D, and E docks and berthed on A or B docks for the winter. Failure to relocate the boats will require the Harbormaster to do so and a fee will be charged for the activity. If there are any questions, feel free to contact the Harbormaster (harbormaster@ninnescah.org) or Property Manager (propertymanager@ninnescah.org). From the Yardmaster: Have you checked your boat LATELY? It has been WINDY! -Are your tie down lines rotted or worn? - Is your tarp or cover secure? Was it one of those cheap ones? - Are your halyards and lines tied off to avoid damage to your equipment? - Are your cockpit drains clear? During the off season please remember you are still required to check your boat at least every two weeks, make sure the tires have air and your equipment can be moved in the event of an emergency. Boats need to be secured to the trailer and securely tied down to the provided concrete anchors. The doggy style anchors will not hold in the storms we get here, and will kill our mowers. Please check your lines, halyards and covers, the wind can quickly destroy your equipment, or you can damage someone else's. When you leave make sure all gates, buildings, and doors are closed and locked. Please take any used batteries, oil, tires or junk with you. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me by email at Yardmaster@ninnescah.org <mailto:yardmaster@ninnescah.org>. or by phone at 316-722-7489. Thanks! Dale Gronniger
