Afterdeck Reservations
If you are interested in reserving
the Afterdeck for NSA activities or
renting the facility for a private function,
please contact Past Commodore Jack
Kramer via e-mail pastcommodore@
ninnescah.org or 316-445-2296.
Message from the Commodore
The Board of Governors would like to recognize the contribution of all our members in what was a historically difficult time and let them know that the continued
support of each member family is greatly appreciated.
We realize this participation as a vote of confidence and optimism in the continued success of our club and its future.
We have members unselfishly providing their time and talents towards many projects and events making each and every one a success. The participation and support
of our membership during this time was remarkable and truly invaluable.
Be assured that your Board of Governors will strive to wisely marshal the Club’s
resources as frugally as possible while maintaining the facilities and assets that our
members have built and invested in over the past 47 years. It is worth noting that
the Ninnescah Yacht Club was organized and founded before water was impounded in 1965 and it is with the same future commitment we continue to meet and
plan for today.
As always, every member’s suggestions and contributions are important to insure
this future. You are our club’s most important asset.
On a personal note I wish to thank everyone for their support and words of encouragement over the past year. It was stressful at times but in the end I have truly
enjoyed my year as you r Commodore.
See you on the water
IMPORTANT:
Crane Pressure Washer
Crane pressure washer will be
available all winter and will need
to be winterized with anti-freeze
after each use. Call Patrick at

Wetslip Use In the Winter
Sadly, another prime sailing season is coming to an end.
After a slow start getting the boats in the slips due to the low
water, this summer produced some fine sailing days. With winter approaching, I believe it is necessary to remind all sailors
with boats in the slips of the following:
Your slip rental ends on December 15. Boats cannot be
docked in the slips between December 15 and March 15 unless
approved by the harbormaster/board. Make your email or written request known to the Harbormaster. After December 15, all
boats are to be removed from C, D, and E docks and berthed
on either A dock or the odd numbered slips on B dock for the
winter unless otherwise approved by the Harbormaster. Failure
to relocate the boats will require the Harbormaster to do so
and there will be a fee charged for the activity. If there are any
questions, feel free to contact the Harbormaster (harbormaster@ninnescah.org) or Property Manager (propertymanager@
ninnescah.org)
Winter Slip fees:
n Without bubbler – Slip lessee $74.00
n With bubbler – Slip Lessee $147.00
n With or without bubbler – Non-Slip Lessee $235.00
Slip plumbing has been disconnected and winterized. Do not
reconnect the plumbing as this may allow the water to freeze
and plumbing to burst. Remove all garden hoses from the
docks or they will be discarded.
The pressure washer by the crane will remain in service
through the winter, but the user should bring a gallon of
low-toxic engine antifreeze (not the pink kind) and know
how to winterize the sprayer. Call the Property Manager if
you plan to use the sprayer. Failure to winterize the sprayer
correctly may cause damage by freezing water internally.
The restrooms east of the Afterdeck will soon be locked
for the winter. The pit toilet toward the shelter house will
remain open.
Whether your boat is in the slip or the boat yard, do
not use unattended heaters, secure all halyards away from
masts, remove the sails, and clear the cockpit drains. If your
boat is left in the water, double your dock lines, check your
boat every two weeks, and notify the Harbormaster if you
are going to use a deicer. It will need to have an operating
thermostat and a fee will be charged to cover the cost of
electricity for the equipment.
Slip rental ends on December 15.
Boats cannot be docked in the slips
between December 15 and March 15
unless approved by the harbormaster/board.

NSA Board of Governors Minutes–Nov. 7, 2013
Commodore: David Parrish called the meeting to order at 6:59
P.M. BOG members present were Parrish, Faber, Kramer, Janson,
Dodson, Veith, Cheatum and Born. Stump was absent.
Members & Guests: Property Manager Pat Adams, Administrative Secretary Allen Johnson, Webmaster Sheryl Born, Jr. Sailing
Chairperson Jaime Kissinger, Jim Carlisle, and Gregg Greenwood
were present.
Minutes: Bob Born, Secretary
The Board accepted and approved the October minutes as published. (Born/Faber)
Financial Report: James Janson, Treasurer
Janson presented the Statement of Financial Position for the month
ending October 31, 2013, which was approved by the Board
(Kramer/Born)
Property Manager’s Report: Patrick Adams
• Club Boats: The Committee boat is hauled and ready to go
to Wichita for service for a serious transmission problem. The
Zodiac is in need of flotation tube repairs before it can go to
winter service. The Lund is in the water in case anyone requires
emergency towing or assistance.
• Afterdeck: The exterior light fixtures use bulbs that are no
longer available and Patrick has re-lamped eight of the fixtures
with new compact fluorescent floodlight bulbs which have a
much longer life and use far less electricity. The board agreed for
Patrick to buy and change out the remaining six fixtures.
Replaced two handicap parking signs and posts. Replaced batteries in the fire alarm system.
• Slips: Receptacle covers have been replaced on A and B docks
but all the receptacle outlets on C and D are rusted and corroded
and needed replaced before the covers can be installed. At this
point the replacement of the outlet boxes on C and D docks is
near completion to meet Electrical Code requirements. Work was
done in-house and with hourly labor since the Electrical contractor
reneged on his bid to do the work.
• All of the plumbing on the slips have been winterized. Thanks to
the Harbormaster for his help. Thanks to Tom Olsen for providing
the anti-freeze.
• Crane pressure washer will be available all winter, will need to be
winterized with anti-freeze after each use. Call Patrick 316-5403674 for instructions.
• The crane has new LED amber flashing light with a 6 second
flashing light or 10 flashes per minute, same as the old fixture.
The crane light is now 10’ higher thanks to Patrick. A member
fouled the cable on the crane hoist. That was fixed, inspected
and no damage found.
Yards: Mowed Yard storage spaces, thanks to Tom Brown, Bruce
Rowe, and Kent Carter. Tom has helped with every mowing this
season. The contract mowers were out and mowed the facility for
the last time, the place looks good for the winter.
Both Kubota tractors were in for dealer servicing, no problems found.
Administrative Secretary Report: Allen Johnson – no report

Ninnescah Sailing Association • November 2013
Member/Guest Forum:
Gregg Greenwood provided an update from The Friends of
Cheney meeting and an update regarding the Jetty expansion.
KDWPT is planning on removing the existing pit toilet, placing
another public bathroom facility up by the shelterhouse, and are
planning on renovating and expanding the public boat ramp next
to the shelter house to double its current capacity during the Jetty
expansion project. Plan to see a lot of truck activity in and out of
the park between January and May related to the Jetty expansion.
A drawing for the Jetty expansion project will be presented at the
annual meeting and will remain on display at the Afterdeck.
Board Member Reports:
Secretary: Bob Born

New Business:
New business was addressed in the individual reports.
Old Business:
2nd Slip: This is the second month the board has discussed allowing members with a second boat having a second slip. The discussion revolves around implementation of having a second slip, the
cost, and how a second slip has the possibility of being “bumped.”
Part of the discussion and suggestions was the harbormaster will
assign the second slip equal to or less than what your main slip is.
Harbormaster can reassign second boat at any time. Our current
Rules say you can have a slip and a nonpermanent mooring but
does not say you can have a second nonpermanent slip. Doug
would like it to say you can have a second slip. We plan on further
discussion and hopefully will vote and implement something at the
December meeting.
