High Winds at FBYC

dscn0498.jpg On Saturday, March 8, FBYC experienced high winds gusting over 50 MPH from the Southwest. As the pictures illustrate, it capsized and compacted the club's 420s, blew a catamaran off its trailer onto an adjacent boat, and spun the South row Flying Scots around on their nose wheels. This experience once again illustrates the need for ground tie down systems in the boat yard, including the nose wheels.

All nine pictures are available here. They are under the Spring Cleanup Event - maybe there will be more work than we had hoped!
