CS34 Still Time Haulout 2019

Got to the club at 6am and got a good parking spot on the beach.

Still Time is the 5th boat to be hauled out.

Breakfast at the club is always great on launch day.

There was frost on the docks and boats making it very slippery for the crews and boat owners.

Time on the photo is 7:15am
You can see the frost on the docks and deck

Sunrise didn't happen until around 7:20am, and the haulout was slow starting, so Still Time didn't come out until 8:15am

I had an incident before she was hauled out.

The haulout was delayed and slow, so I was out on Still Time motoring around.
I went to turn around by the launch ramp, and my rudder clipped a concrete anchor!
The finger docks on the west side of the channel had been pullout out of the water yesterday.

Yellow circle is where I clipped the rudder

Damage to the rudder is minimal:

Will take some epoxy fiberglass work in the spring before launch.

Glad the rudder shaft was not bent!


Spent the rest of the day getting the masts for the 22 and 34 put away (as well as the club Sharks)

Also pressure washed the 22's bottom.
