Sailing Center season
opens May 25

Posted May 8, 2006 at 11:22 AM

BranderBelle

The BranderBelle has been in operation since May 1 and the BCA is booking trips for the season. We already have some reservations into June and July. So if you are planning a sunset cruise or an event to remember, call 744-1035x104 to check on availability and make reservations.

Launching the Fleet

The Sailing Center in Sunday Park will open for the season on May 25. The beach has been dressed and rearranged to accommodate the fleet. Storm damage repairs to our two Puffers and a Sunfish have been made. Building repairs, general cleanup of the Sailing Center and maintenance on all the boats are being completed.

The satisfaction of making a boat ship-shape for a safe season on the reservoir is time well spent. We hope you will take the hint and look at your own boat to determine how it made it through the winter and whether your boat, cradle or rack needs repair. Now is the time to make repairs before the heat and humidity hit.

Spring is also a good time to check your flotation devices. Old, torn life vests and seat cushions may have lost their effective buoyancy. A serviceable personal flotation device is required for each passenger on all boats in Virginia waters. Boating, fishing, and sporting goods stores are all running specials on boat maintenance products and safety gear. Check them out. Remember: flotation devices will not work unless they are worn.

Boat Stickers

All boat owners should check the expiration date of their State of Virginia boat registrations. State game wardens regularly patrol the reservoir and expect boaters to obey the letter of the law. Brandermill boat registration stickers were mailed on May 1. Boat owners are responsible for putting stickers on their BCA registration decals on the starboard bow (front) of their boats. (Stand in your boat and look forward at the bow; starboard is the right side.)

Riggings and Fittings

Sailors should be sure to check all riggings and fittings before leaving shore, especially on boats that were stored with the masts up. Winter storms may have caused fatigue damage to shrouds, fittings and connections at both the deck and masthead. Please check it all carefully. Dismasting is dangerous and can be costly.

Critter Check

Last, but not least, those of you who have stored your boats on the ground should be careful when uncovering the boat for the first time. Neighborhood snakes and other critters may have camped out in your boat for the winter.

We wish you joy in fitting out your boat and we look forward to seeing you at the end of the month. Until then, we wish your fair winds and calm seas.
