The Beacon Sloop Club (Maintenance)
Winter/Spring Maintenance 2010 - 2011 Season
The Sloop Woody Guthrie's Winter/Spring Maintenance Coordinator for the 2010 - 2011 is once again Gigi Fris. This year we will be replacing or repairing 8 hull frames, 1 hull plank, deck beams from the motor hatch aft, the entire cockpit including the benches as well as all the yearly maintenance tasks that keep the boat looking and working so well. Work parties will be every Sunday from 9 - 12 at Whites Marina in New Hamburg. If you would like to help please contact Gigi or a Captain.
Please note that all Woody sailors are expected to contribute 30 hours or more towards the maintenance effort each year.
