Vespoli old sculling riggers
Members :
Does anyone own these old Vespoli riggers? They’ve been hanging on the wall here for years . I’d like to clear them out of boathouse and give them to Stephanie Moore at Holyoke Rows. She is restoring an old Vespoli . Please let me know if they belong to you. Craig

Thank you. Bob

Thanks Andy, ?but I’ll have to find a place - maybe an auto parts store -that has spray colors. This going to be difficult. It needs to be sprayed on and then wet sanded at 2000+ grit.? ? ?But if your eyes find a similar color SW code let me know the #. I’m color blind. Really . But I might find a place. In the meantime it’s smoooooth and folks can row it. There are places that will make up spray colors also .? Thanks ,?

The bow color will look dull until I find a similar color spray paint. But it is very smooth and should glide better than ever.
Now where do you find a spray paint matching Periwinkle ?

Mass 8, the one on wheels is out of commission.... A suggestion

Subject: Mass 8, the one on wheels is out of commission....? A suggestion
? YRC members. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The # 8 Maas on wheels is in need of repair. There was a wide split in the bow, the stern was worn away, and the skeg was kinked. So it will be a while before the number 8 is back.? When you take the other Club Maas out may I suggest you get a hand from someone, at least to the slings. They are bulky and wide to grab. It's easier once outside our tight boathouse. ( The upper Maas is the Club boat, the lower Maas is Private.)? So feel free ask for a hand to get it out; it's the easiest way to get any boat out of our tight boathouse, and everyone will help. There is no shame in taking a boat out with two people.? (At Craftsbury, you are not even allowed to carry their boats alone.)?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?I suggest it might be best to rethink our keeping #8 on wheels in the back. Especially with newbies, the boat gets rough use. If the bow is held too high the skeg and stern are scrapped. It gets dropped on the bow and cracked etc. When one learns to come into the dock, the bow gets hit. We've all probably banged a boat when starting to dock; it's a learned skill. Every year I repair or patch something on the #8.? Considering newbies are usually with someone ( or should be ) and it is rare for them to row where no one is around the boathouse, perhaps we should try it back on a rack as before, if even outside. It also cleans out that back oar area, and is easier to get out of the boathouse. Those on the left side oar racks can see ( even with the #8 off the wheels and just pushed to the side) how much more room you have. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Some new rowers have a tendency to think of rowing shells like those plastic extruded? kayaks or canoes which they are not. Kayaks and canoe can take a lot of abuse, shells are delicate. Members who own boats know this, so maybe just a gentle suggestion here and there about handling the boats and oars could help. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?As to oars: we will be rebuilding the major oar racks but for now the best system is to put them Face to Face, then offset the Collars and put them in the rack. If we all do this there will be no oars crashing down. The racks are too close together for todays oars. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?We will be rebuilding the front right rack also with the Mass on it. There will be six boats on slings which includes one boat on a dolly.
Thanks Everyone, ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Craig

Re: Boathouse door code etc.
Indeed: we never had a problem with theft here. ?I always felt uncomfortable about leaving the door partway open- purportedly to know if someone was out rowing. ?Nothing ever taken 30+ years.? ? ? ?And now, ?so easy to hit a button and close the door. Just close it and don’t worry about combos… imho.?

I've been to other boathouses where the code was the founding year of the club. Perhaps painting "founded in 1-9-8-7" by the controller would be the right level of hint, without being too obvious!
My two cents - the current code and other ideas sound reasonable, as well.
