Port Captain Report
For the Trailer owner’s, just a reminder make sure that a copies of your keys are with the emergence
keys box that Paul Morrow keeps in his possession. Paul, Ken, and I have finish the walk through and
trailer checking make sure that you have a 10lb Fire extinguisher and working smoke alarm (see page
62 moorage rule 17). We also check for backflow valves, and wastewater drop. Also that moorage
rule 17 is not being violated with extension cord on your deck. Ken did the walk around with Paul and
me, checking that all the trailers had backflow preventers on the water systems. They were also
checking the general conditions of the trailers. They will be creating a report of the Board of their finding
and I believe contacting any owners with issue that were noted.
I am still working on some new moorage issue or request but IF I HAVE MISSED any please contact
me. You can check your moorage on the moorage board at the YotPot, as it will be updated once more
June 22 nd (this is the third printing this year) Also be aware that I will be out checking for current OR
registration on the laser rack as we are receiving request for slip by the water, If you do not have
current OR on your watercraft it will be moved to the new back rack. I am doing this as you are not
using you watercraft and are using a slip of great value (see moorage rule 11:a) So this is the biggest
issue will be the Laser rack as I have several people that would like to have a moorage in the laser
rack. So if you do not wish to lose your laser rack moorage then get current OR numbers. I have had
several people send me scans of the temporary registration and that will work. At this time there are
several watercrafts without current registration in the rack and on the docks. Remember that if you
have wet moorage and do not have current OR number the State Marine Marshals do walk our docks
and check current numbers/stickers. Also for dry moorage watercraft if you have a spot that someone
else would like to have and you do not have Oregon Numbers AND current registration on you
watercraft you may lose your spot. For wet moorage please check you lines and snubbers and do not
use the small one as we have seen several failure of large watercraft with under size snubbers and the
end results is not pretty. When you compare the cost of snubbers to boat repair snubbers are cheap
get good ones please.
As you are using your boat and are moored on the docks, please look at the hoops, and hinges bolts
as we have replaced all the finger hinges with bolts but they and the mounting brackets need to be
check. If it is above your skill level please contact Paul Stephens, or you can email me and I will
forward to Paul.
Also please do not leave your boats in the center island. Last weekend there were several boats.
Please move to ROW J along the fence. This is for car parking and not boat storage as we are into the
sailing season and we have several more regattas this year. I will be doing the walk around for
moorage please have your boats in their correct summer moorage as this makes the job a little easier.
The last item on my list is for travel trailer members, sign in when you are using your trailer and
please read the page 59 – E. MOORAGE RULES section 11 sub-section d.
I have had to sent out two notice of non-compliance.
Happy Sailing hope to see you at the club
