Slipping / Crane Day this year will be conducted under the clubs COVID-19 policy, please go to our website or click here to view.
We intend to have the crane and slipping running concurrently. Can we please have the first boat crews and volunteers at the yard at 7.30am to set up and launch a duck.
The franna crane will be onsite at 8.00am with a half hour set up so we can expect the first lift at approx. 8.30am.
CRANING
Please estimate 20 minutes per lift to calculate your time.
The order of the craning will be:
The order of slipping will be:
A reminder that all rear cradle lines are to be released before the boat floats.
Ideally the crew is put onto the boat once it has gone down the slip.
Tillers and wheels are to be tied off to stop rudder movement when splashing into the water.
Crane operations will take priority over slipping operations.
Can crews then please remove the breast bars and braces from their cradle in preparation for pack up.
Thank you for your co-operation,
