End of Season Haul Out

Always a sad sight, the boats came out for the winter this week. Pisces will remain in the water and available for cold weather sailing until about January 1.

52 Hour Maintenance Whirlwind

Immediately following the Poplar Island sojourn (below) Summer Sun was hauled for heavy maintenance Tuesday and splashed Thursday, looking new. The boat over-wintered afloat and needed some work.

Members quickly sanded, repaired barrier coat, and painted the bottom. Meanwhile, other members did expert gelcoat repairs above the water line, inspections and deferred maintenance tasks. Topsides were cleaned and waxed by a contractor. The boat was splashed and ready for service late Thursday afternoon.
