Officer and Director Reports.
Rick Walker – The crew working on his dock is will be on the lake for awhile and is still interested in looking at the mast hoist.
Noted that the Emerald Bay Zoom meeting only had about the same number of people show up for their annual meeting, and they have many more members. So felt better about our turnout for the LPYC annual meeting.
Old Business
Slip Waiting List:
No current open slips and no one is on the list for a slip.
Mast Hoist:
John Springer and Steve Lowe detailed an alternative way make the mast hoist usable again. Since freeing up the rusted sleeve hasn’t worked. They suggested adding a plate to the outside of the mast pole and fastened to the pole with a series of U-bolts. The mast arm would be welded to the plate and would be fixed in the out position. Rich Munson had a few questions on the construction of it. The plate would be made of aluminum, possibly of an I-beam construction. The U-Bolts would be of stainless steel of around ½ inch thickness. The brace for the arm should be a solid rod. With only an expected weight lifting capacity of a few hundred pounds for a mast at most, it should be way more than adequate. If needed, a small scissor lift could be used to help raise and fasten the plate to the existing pole. John Springer will get some cost estimates and present at the next board meeting.
New Business
Ullman Sails Videos:
Steve Lowe contacted Ullman Sails in San Diego and inquired about using their collection of training videos to show to the club. The club could do a video stream of one or more to the club, perhaps on some Saturday. Details of how and when can be worked out later.
Historical Club Records:
John Owens has many historical documents back from the beginning of the club from his days as Secretary and as a director during its founding. Asked if the club would be interested in getting them. Steve Lowe will retrieve them and forward them to Rick Walker. Anything of use could be scanned to PDF’s and placed on the website. Such as a list of the early Commodores of the club.
Date and Time of Next Meeting:
Steve suggested moving the meeting time to 1:00 pm, since we are not currently meeting for lunch. There was no nay’s.
The next monthly meeting is currently scheduled for March 10th at 1:00 PM via Zoom.
