Sign on as project owner

I am in the process of compiling a list of work to be done on NOMAD to ensure we are ready for 2012 Halifax to St Pierre and OceanOne.

Looking at the projects we have and let me know if you would like to take ownership of getting it done! I will provide all materials, tools etc but just need someone to see that jobs get done and done right.

1.) Replace two thru hulls, one for engine seawater and one for aft cabin head

2.) Rebuild two heads.

3.) Replace traveller system and genoa cars

4.) Service all deck winches, cleats, spin locks, etc

5.) Refinish cabin teak and holly sole

6.) Rebuild engine (Jerry Mitchell)

7.) Remove and reinstall engine (Ben King)

8.) Repair Autopilot wiring/connections

It's going to be a long winter, nothing better to past the time than planning for a project like this.

Be part of Halifax to St. Pierre Race and OceanOne Race 2012

There are a lot of ways you can get involved and help out with racing this summer.

NOMAD, WAR EAGLE and BELLA J will be racing, representing RNYC. We are hoping to get good participation in the OceanOne part of the race as well at St. Johns Port Authority with boats that come up from St Pierre.

If you enjoy boats and want to help out we have lots of things to do. Let us know if your interested. We need people on the ground as well as in the boats to make this successful.

Being part of a shore crew is a lot of fun, just follow the Volvo Ocean Race and learn of the important role of shore support. If you have some time, want to get involved in boat preparations, boat deliveries, organizing shore events and even the race itself let us know.
