Keelboat Lift-out

Lift-out is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 28, a bit later than normal. That might seem great given the recent weather, but the weather is about to turn. The problem with having it earlier is home football games the two weekends before that, which results in very bad traffic as well as some people with other commitments.

As for actually getting the boats to winter storage, we need to doublecheck the trailers before then. All large trailers need to be registered and have plates. Our records are pretty out of date. Half don't have license plates. UW Transportation reports trailers we don't have and doesn't report trailers that we do have.

These trailers don't have license plates:

Siege (T-10 33', 6,500#))
Spray (Soverel 30', 7,000#)
Soma (Mull 34',10,500 k#)
Cinger (O'day 25', 4,000#)

Siege's doesn't appear to have ever been reported to UW Transportation.

Hoofers may like to avoid paperwork, but this needs to be taken care of asap.
