WBORA
Sea Buoy
On
a note closer to home, our own Murray Seidel went to considerable
effort to obtain and install the new WBORA mooring buoy. He
has specific instructions for its use.
-
On top of the buoy there is pennant line with an eye in
it. There is a S.S. hook where the eye is placed. This keeps
the end of the line from getting fouled with marine life.
- Remove
the pennant from the buoy and run your line thru the eye.
Cleat both ends of your line to your boat. When casting
off reverse the procedure making sure the eye of the pennant
is on the hook of buoy.
-
Never ever put a line around the chain attached to the bottom
of the buoy. This will put all the strain into the plastic
and is likely to destroy the buoy. They only safe way to
transmit loads thru the buoy is thru the metal rod which
goes thru the buoy. The load goes from the moored boat,
to the pennant, thru the shaft and then to the anchor chain
attached to the bottom of the buoy. If you do not understand
these instructions call Murray.
Failure
to comply will result in your boat being accidentally T boned
by Sundance under full diesel power. That's not a good
thing.

Participation
is the key to a great future for WBORA. Winning is not everything,
lots boats out there improving their skills followed by good
fellowship at socials and raft ups makes sailing fun. We have
a lot of experienced crew out here looking for rides. Skippers,
that can be great way to learn more about sailing. Also, the
old hands around the club are full of advice and help for
the less experienced.
