The red and green buoys aren't on the river yet, but I imagine that they will be out soon.?

Thanks Ernie- the horror of rowing. I have a facial imprint on most of those useless buoys. I might just have to purchase a Yrc bolt cutter ?. Lol.?
Boy do I hate those things! Craig.?

Yankee Rowing Club FAQ


REMINDER: Club boats are not to be rowed when the flow in the river
exceeds 20,000 cubic feet/sec (cfs).? Consult gauges at either of:
? ? ? ?
? ? ? ?

Equipment, rack space, procedures, and storage in the boathouse are handled
by the equipment committee.? Allocating rack space is often a consultation
involving the equipment committee, other affected parties, and (in case a
policy question arises), the board of directors.? Equipment committee:
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Craig Schiff? zzooey@...
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Ernie Alleva? elaCS@...

Becoming a member: Yankee Rowing Club is open to all.? Someone wishing to
join usually contacts the club by email (e.g. from our website), or through
a club member.? This usually leads to a conversation about the club's functions,
fees, etc.? To join the club, they complete and submit an application,
pay their dues, and have an orientation session at the boathouse regarding
club boats, equipment, boathouse routines, etc. New members arrive with a
variety of rowing experience, ranging from none, to sweep (often in high
school or college), to competitive scullers.? If they need rowing lessons
or aren’t sure about their level of skill or what boats they should row in,
they arrange for an initial row and perhaps several lessons with one of the
coaches. The coaches/members who watch the new members scull are responsible
for determining their learning path (e.g., more coached sessions, rowing
a rec boat with a buddy, rowing a rec boat alone, advancing to a racing
shell after a certain amount of experience in a rec boat, etc.) Membership
fees for various parts of the season (from a few days to a few months),
aside from the ones listed on the membership application,
are worked out with the club treasurer.
? ? ? ? Boathouse tour: Ernie Alleva? elaCS@...
? ? ? ? Membership application: see
? ? ? ? Coaching/Lessons: see

Minors: Minors who are offspring of club members may join the club; their
parent or responsible adult member must co-sign the membership application
and agree that their child will be rowing without supervision.? YRC’s focus
is on independent rowing and has no organized programs that support minors
rowing.

Rowing by other minors is not encouraged, but is allowed subject to approval
and negotiation by the president, treasurer, and their advisors.? (Perhaps
the club needs to construct a more transparent policy for these cases.)

Guests:? Guests of members may use YRC club boats, as long as they are
accompanied by their club member host.? All guests need to sign a liability
waiver before rowing (forms are near the sign-in book).

The club sometimes (rarely) accommodates "club guests" who ask to row a
bit as they pass through our area.? We ask them to make a contribution
to the club; consult the club president or treasurer.? (Here too, a more
transparent policy may be needed.)

After rowing two or three times, if guests want to continue to row, they
are expected to join the club—-they can’t become regular/ongoing guests.

Boat damage or repairs needed.? If you row a club boat that needs repair
(e.g., a sticking seat, a loose oarlock/pin, ..) or if you experience
damage to a club boat you are rowing, or if you worry that damage may have
occurred (e.g, rowing over a floating log may be benign or not...), please
report the event in two steps:
? ? ? ? 1. Make a note in the log book (right-hand page, clearly indicating
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? the boat, the nature of the issue, and your name)? You might
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? say "Please inspect the hull of #9 near the bow to see if
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? any damage occurred."
? ? ? ? 2. Notify Craig Schiff (zzooey@...), who will inspect the
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? boat and may make or arrange for repairs.
Craig likes to say that we have a "no blame policy."? We expect everyone
to be as careful as possible with club equipment, but we understand that
equipment fails, accidents happen, and repairs will be needed.? But Craig
is happier if he has fewer repairs to do :-)

Insurance: YRC has some insurance coverage for boat damage and for
D&O (directors and officers) liability, but HAS NO GENERAL LIABILITY
coverage.? The waiver that we ask all members and guests to sign clearly
states that the rower releases YRC of any liability they might claim.

BOAT NOTES: These are notes about club boats that rowers should heed!

FRAGILE:? Rowing shells are fragile: care and (especially) attention
are required when handling them.? Our boathouse is tight, so it's important
to watch carefully as you remove and return shells to be sure that they
are not damaged, and do not damage other boats in the boathouse. And
on the outdoor slings, the ramp, and the dock, use caution to avoid
dropping a boat, scraping it against asphalt paving or dock hardware,
scraping another boat, etc.

IF POSSIBLE, ALWAYS USE TWO PEOPLE TO CARRY A SHELL. ASK FOR HELP,
it's easy, it's normal, it's reciprocal, it reduces damage, and IT'S SAFER.

Maas Aeros #4, #8, #13.? These boats cannot be carried safely by a single
person. Either use two people, or use "wheels" to support the stern while
you tow the bow.

The wheels are attached to the boat just aft of the riggers with two
straps.? The wheels are marked with a label "stern ->" to orient them
properly.? The strap nearest the bow goes inside (just forward of) the
stern-most rigger arm that attaches to the hull.

When using the wheels CONSTANT CAREFUL ATTENTION IS NEEDED.? If you raise
the bow too high, you will scrape the stern or the skeg on the pavement,
and this RAPIDLY damages the boat.? And be careful not to drop the bow
you're holding; this too can cause remarkable damage.? Even a drop of a
few inches will damage the boat!

The best procedure for rolling the boat down or up the ramp to the dock
is to always POINT THE BOW DOWNHILL.? Whether going up or down the ramp,
the bow will not slip out of your hands.? When going down, you and your
body are keeping the boat from escaping downhill.? When going up, you're
pushing the boat, and it's unlikely to get away from you.

RecRacer #15.? This boat is graciously on loan from UMass.? If you reserve
it on our system, there's a slight chance that someone from UMass (who does
not use our reservation system) may have taken it out.? This boat represents
a half-way point relative to both speed and stability between the club
Maas Aeros and a racing shell such as the Peinerts and Fluids.? Members
should be competent in handling and rowing the Maas before moving to the
RecRacer.? BE CAREFUL WHEN RACKING THIS BOAT: There is a splash guard
just forward of the wash box that is very fragile: do not support the
boat on the splash guard.

YRC double.? This is a mid-weight Fluid, a marvelous boat for almost any
combination of YRC rowers.? When racking this boat, be sure it is supported
by its washbox, not its deck(s).

Hi friends,

?

The plywood sign backer needs to be reinstalled. Whether it remains as is or has the new covering installed is another matter. But I took it down today before it fell down. The 10 minute quick chore that blossomed!? First time ever for that!! LOL

?

About 8:30 I should be ready for a willing and not too rushed set of added hands to get it done! I realize it is bedtime, certainly for me, so not a great time to get this all sorted, but lets get it done.

?

Remarkably, due to the lofty slinging of RS’s shell and other higher matters, we have two very suitable step ladders for this work!

?

Thanks
