Crane three on the Western Hardstand - Out of Service
|
Members are advised that both jib arms on crane three on the Western Hardstand are out of order for the foreseeable future. Vector, the lifting company do not know the availability of the replacement parts. It is possible that it will be later in January before new parts can be supplied.
|
|
|
Jetty and Pen Fastenings
|
During a recent inspection of the Club jetties it was noted that there are unapproved fastenings and fittings attached to jetties and fingers.
|
Members are reminded that all fittings and fixtures that are not “normal” jetty fastenings must be approved formally by SoPYC. Many fenders types and hose stands have been attached to the jetties without the formal consent having been applied for or approved.
|
Many of these unapproved fixtures have not be attached according to Club requirements and the present fastenings such as dissimilar metals may introduce conditions that promote corrosion on the jetties and fingers. This is especially so where the black HDPE sleeves around jetty piles have had penetrations through the HDPE by such things as screws to hold hooks for mooring lines and power cords. The idea of the sleeve is to stop oxygenated water sitting in the gap between the sleeve and pile creating rust on the steel pile wall and reducing the life of a pile (nominally 30 years). Without oxygen, the water become inert and rust action is virtually eliminated. Holes in the sleeve reintroduce oxygen and restarts the rust.
|
Unapproved fixtures may be removed from jetties and pens without notice to members and any repairs required to make good the damage to the jetties created by unapproved fixtures and fittings will be charged back to members accounts.
|
A further issue is boat fittings being tied off/secured to safety equipment such as fire hose pipes and up-stands. As a matter of good practice and safety, no item shall be tied off or secured to safety equipment such as fire hose reels, extinguisher boxes or power/water bollards.

SoPYC Wheel Clamp
|
At the recent Management Committee meeting the subject of car parking was discussed and the Committee is concerned at the number of cars that are being parked improperly, ignoring parking information, inadequately identified (which includes boat trailers), blocking hardstand trailer bays preventing members using their boats, or not being able to return boats to the land pens.
|
The Security Committee has been asked to resurrect “Jed” (clamp-it) - the colloquial name for the club wheel clamp. So without attaching the clamp injudiciously and without warning, the Security Committee is asking that member’s be conscious of their parking habits around the club. Should the clamp be applied to a vehicle, it can only be released during office hours Monday to Friday and the fee attached to the removal of the clamp is $150.00.
