Float Your Boat with Confidence - Preparing for Launch

Nepean Sailing Club

With Fraser Robidoux:  Let's get our boats ready for launch!

Club Launch is less than six weeks away. Whether you are new to preparing a boat for launch, or are looking for some reminders or new techniques, this is a timely presentation on things we should be doing now or over the next few weeks to get ready for boating and sailing season. Fraser’s list of topics will build on recent presentations on using the yard and harbour, sail and canvas maintenance and repair, and care of your diesel engine. He will cover:•Sail inspection and repairs•Engine maintenance or replacement•Spars and rigging•Boat shows•Weather related projects•Launch day•After launch•Boats not being launched this season•Trailer launch boats•Getting ready to motor or sailFraser sails Rainy Day Woman off W dock. You can find him most Thursdays sailing in Jam fleet, or around the yard and club volunteering and helping newcomers “learn the ropes”. mIn his spare time he restores old engines, and rebuilds Optimist dinghies. He is a great source of information for all things to do with boating.

This presentation is part of the NSC Winter Speaker's program, which promotes ongoing learning about all things nautical, as well as cruising and competitive sailing. Our contributors and organizers are all volunteers, and they and our audience come from clubs and organizations bordering both sides of the Ottawa River. The meeting is free to attend, but we ask that you consider making a small donation. All proceeds will go to the NSC Legacy Fund, which supports competitive sailing for youth and Able Sail members.
