Todd just rescued a boat that was stranded in the air for 36-hours. We’ve had a crane tech on site most of today. Even with this, success is not assured, despite the $$$ we spent on preventive maintenance this season. So, here's the plan for this weekend.</div><div class=""><ul class=""><li class="">If you own a j70 or a S2 7.9 please consider hauling from ramp and give up your crane slot to someone else.</li><li class="">If there is somewhere else on the lake you could haul, then please do so so as to free up a slot at WYC.</li><li class="">If you’re hauling on Saturday, please consider getting your mast down earlier, so at to minimize congestion at the gin pole and in the channel leading to the crane.</li><li class="">Rocket Crane will be on site this Saturday. We added another one lift per hour on Saturday. Check DIBS to snag a slot here <a href="https://www.wyc.org/dib_sessions/show/44036" class="">https://www.wyc.org/dib_sessions/show/44036</a> If you're already scheduled at a 20 or 40 after the hour slot, please expect to be shuffled a few minutes later to accommodate the additional lift. </li><li class="">There may be additional gaps or opportunities on Saturday to squeeze in a few extra lifts on stand by, but not at the expense of an already scheduled lift.</li><li class="">It is essential you are well prepared. Boats who came out last weekend did an excellent job of being well prepared. Please do the same. Don’t be THAT guy.</li></ul></div><div class="">We'll reassess any remaining boats after Saturday, and keep everyone informed. This has been a challenging time for Todd and Tim, who are doing everything possible to accommodate you in the midst of this unpredictable situation.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Again, just like every race, we’ll all reach the finish line safely. It just may take an extra couple of tacks. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks, Andy </div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div>
