I believe the club \u2013 but have been lead to believe otherwise. How do we enforce guests of member rule \u2013 and my example would be Dudley Dudley? And also, the $10 fee each way \u2013 is that per group going to a boat \u2013 or per person? In the past I thought we paid $5 per person.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext'> Board [mailto:board-bounces@portsmouthyc.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Dick Blidberg<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, March 08, 2016 12:08 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'Board@portsmouthyc.org'<br><b>Subject:</b> [Board] Launch use document<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>HI All<br>Last year I agreed to write up a launch use document to make sure people knew what the could and could not do as far as using the launch. The following is a very first draft for consideration. It is by no means a final draft but I hope it will encourage some conversation at the upcoming meeting. Please let me know what you think either by email or during the meeting this Thursday. I would like to attach this to the newsletter this month or next month.<br><br>Thanks for your help<br>Dick<br><br>*****************************<br>The purpose of this document is to clarify the use of the launch and the fees associated with the launch. <br><br> <b><i>Launch Service Operation (from the House and Docks rules)<br><br>Lunch fees $100/season or $10.00 per trip<br><br>Hours of PYC Launch Service operation are: <br> Sunday thru Thursday 0830 to Sunset (or 2000, whichever is earlier)<br> Friday, Saturday & Holidays 0830 to ½ hour after Sunset <br><br>(The hours of operation may be changed with posted notice by the<br> Rear Commodore or Rear Commodore\u2019s designee)<br><br>Area of PYC Launch Service operation includes: <br> Hart's Cove, the Sound Basin and Jones Cove, <br> Pepperell Cove, Back Channel and Causeway area.</i></b><br><br>Fueling operations: The dock hands have been told that their first priority is to undertake fueling operations as we are a public fueling dock. This means that, if at times when limited dock staff are available, you may be asked to wait a short time before getting a ride to your boat in order that they may complete fueling operations in the safest possible manner. This will not happen under normal circumstances but please be patient when this does happen.<br><br>Weather: The Portsmouth Harbor area is susceptible to varying weather conditions. Excessive winds and waves, high currents, and fog are important factors relative to the safe operation of the PYC Launch. The launch driver has the final say as to the impact of these factors on launch service. As a rule of thumb, the launch will not go out if the launch driver is unable to see the Maine coast due to fog either in place when the launch service is requested or, if the fog is moving up river at a rate that causes concern about the return trip from your boat. <br><br>Fees: Launch service is for members of the Portsmouth YC and their guests only with the exception of the Captain and crew of vessels using the PYC moorings. The fee for that service is $100 per season or $10/trip to<b> or</b> from your boat. <br><br>Invited guests: If you have invited guests coming on your boat, you must be on the launch with those guests if they are using the launch to get to you boat. You must remember that, by law, no more than 6 people are allowed on the launch at one time. If you have more than 6 guests coming with you, you should bring your boat onto the dock and pick up your guests from the dock. <b> The launch drivers have been instructed not bring your guests out to your boat or back from your boat unless you or another member of the PYC is onboard the launch</b>.<br><br>Note: Please refrain from excessive conversation with the launch driver when the launch is underway. This will allow he/she to focus completely on getting you to your boat and back in the safest manner possible. <br><br><o:p></o:p></p><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><hr size=1 width="99%" noshade style='color:#909090' align=center></div><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style='border-collapse:collapse'><tr><td style='padding:0in 11.25pt 0in 6.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.avast.com/antivirus"><span style='text-decoration:none'><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1026" src="http://static.avast.com/emails/avast-mail-stamp.png" alt="Avast logo"></span></a><o:p></o:p></p></td><td style='padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt'><p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#3D4D5A'>This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. <br><a href="https://www.avast.com/antivirus">www.avast.com</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
