Dory Haul Out This Saturday

The IDRC needs your help this Saturday November 1st to haul out our race dories and put them away for the winter. 
This process requires many volunteers as the boats will have to be nested inside the tent (need at least 8-10 volunteers to make light work of it). 
We also could benefit from a trailer or two if anyone has a trailer and has not pulled their boat yet. 
The plan is to meet at Eastern Ave. Self Storage at 3PM and load the two practice boats. 
Joe Novello and helper will tow 2 race boats and meet us at the high school landing. 
We will swap the boats and make a 2nd trip to haul the remaining race dories. 
Please respond if you can make it and if you have an available trailer!
