Important informatio​n regarding DSUSA Outrigger program

6/5/2014

0 Comments

 
It is with great regret that we have to inform you that the Outrigger program will be put on hold at the end of the month. In April, DragonSports, was informed by the marina management that our moorage fees would be raised in May. We evaluated our options and determined that the required increase in rental fees to meet the increased moorage fees would be prohibitive to our members. We attempted to negotiate more manageable moorage fees with the marina management, but were unable to reach a cost point that would allow the Outrigger program to continue.

As a result, June will be the last month that our boats reside at the marina. DragonSports is actively looking into alternative locations to house our canoes and continue the program. Until a new location is found, the program will be on
hold.

It is important to note that this decision was made by the marina management, not the harbormaster. Please continue to treat the other marina residents and staff with the same respect and courtesy that you have shown them over the past years.

Take advantage of the warm weather and our last month at the marina and schedule some practices. Our Q2 schedule is up to date, so find a spot that you would like to use, email outrigger@dragonsports.org to schedule.

Speaking of warm water, water temperatures have been steadily over 60. For the rest of this month, wearing a PFD is optional. Remember, there must be a PFD on the boat for each paddler and optional PFDs are at the discretion of the steersperson.

If you have any questions or information regarding potential locations for our canoes, please contact outrigger@dragonsports.org.
