If anyone is interested, I have a few pics of our club after Gustav at:
www.pelyc.org
click on Club News then Photos, there is also a link on that page for non-flashed browsers. The server is running a bit slow as are most things in our area right now ! The non-flash albums may be a better choice
EE was fine other than the bimini, but the little Coronado slid off the trailer and was holed.

Except for that one poor boat that got smashed most of the boats appeared to have made it through relatively unscathed.................noticed quite a few Flying Scots in the mix..................the docks did not appear to fare as well though, at least the posts were left
On the bright side you have an extra spot where the tree used to be to put another boat and that tree won't ever fall over again. I am surprised that Sunfish or clone stayed put it should should have flown away like a gaint condor.
What kind of boat was it that got smashed anyways? Maybe the guy with the algae green boat would give it up as a replacement since they clearly are not using it.

The smashed one was a Wellcraft/Starwind, same one as sank at the dock last year. Am hoping to encourage the owner to part it out to our Starwind friends.
Of course the big Chrysler on the yard came thru fine, for which I'm grateful.
The green one is another story, I think. Yep, and Scots which are a great boat for this lake. We have a few active racers on those.
We fared very well, but the south end of the lake had a lot of damage to both very nice houses and camps.
I even saw one mobile home that not only was flipped, but had rolled over UP a steep hill !

Any trailers put up around here since Andrew won't do the roll any more, you'll just find a steel floor frame still tied to the ground and a debris field from the rest of it. Not that it makes much of a difference....................

EE, do you folks at your club keep the boats on trailers all season or did you just pull them all because of the storm?
Yikes, the boat doesn't sink but a tree falls on it... now that's some bad luck!

I'm about the only one that wet slips his boat, most dry store them.
Actually the Starwind did sink, completely in 12' of water after a storm, while being wet slipped. Thus my quick removal of mine !
