Sailboat Morings

Today we attached the moring balls to the anchors out in beautiful Gull Lake. We have spent the last week preparing the yacht club area for the sailing season ahead and the Star fleets' Tulip Tune-Up Regatta this coming weekend. 

Inflating Moring Balls

In the spring the moring balls are moved from storage and inflated with air. The chains/clevises are inspected and replaced as needed to insure they remain secure throughout the summer season. Installing both moring fields and the channel line takes three guys about 2 hours to complete.

Tree Removal For New Quarter Deck Patio

This morning we removed the trees from the North end of the clubhouse, so we could begin the Quarter Deck patio project. The new patio system will be a wonderful addition to the club, providing a spacious seating area, gas fire pit and a bocci ball court for your summertime enjoyment.

Construction will begin soon on the new patio and we hope to have everything wrapped up by Memorial Day. The late spring this season has presented some challenges and delays, but we are confident the project will be finished in time for summer activities.
