VOLUNTEERS DROP BOX NEEDED
Spring 2011Manager@pinespointmarina.orgA Message From The PresidentGreetings from the Beach:On behalf of your Board of Directors, I would like to welcome you to our 2011 Boating Season and to share somegood news with you. The five year breakwater construction loan was approvedby M&T Bank on April 8, 2011. Construction on the final300 foot section will begin in mid-May and be completed bymid-September. Approximately 36% percent of our ownershave already paid for their portion of the breakwater cost.Of the remaining owners, 36% have selected loan paymentoption and 28% have not returned their payment selectionform. The owners who have not returned their payment option selection form will be enrolled in the 5 year loan program. The good news is that after the final section is completed, we will have 600 feet of breakwater protecting ourmarina against wind and wave action damage. This badlyneeded protection should significantly reduce the excessivestorm damage costs that we have been encountering overthe past several years. Being able to obtain a constructionloan is a real win-win situation for our owners. It gave everyone the opportunity, on the basis of their personal desiresand financial needs, to choose the payment program of theirchoice.VOLUNTEERSNEEDEDFor our Annual 4th of July cookout.Please contact Ginger:manager@pinespointmarina.org or443 859-5544.OWNER INFORMATION FORMS –It is essential that we have your contact information.You may download an Owner Information Form from ourwebsite, www.pinespointmarina.org under forms.www.pinespointmarina.org The storm damage repairs have been completed alongwith some major repairs.

2Tips for Navigating No-Wake ZonesThe signs read, “5 mph, No Wake,” not either/or.By Kevin FalveyThe hard-chine planing hulls most of us operate aren’tsuited to no-wake situations. The deeper your V, the worseit is. And if you run a stern-drive, the problem is exacerbated because many drives have play in them until you addsome revs. None of this is an excuse for throwing a biggerwake than is necessary.Most boats have two 5 mph speeds. The first, with thethrottle clicked just forward of neutral, is called “idling ingear” — so that the engine is turning at around 600 rpm.The second 5 mph speed is the one in which the engine isturning about 1,300 rpm. At this engine speed, there’s morethrust. But the boat is squatting, resulting in a bigger wakeand no increase in speed.Observation makes clear the speed that many boatersprefer. It’s understandable. When idling in gear, there’s little feel at the wheel. The skipper must use a learned touchto keep the boat on course. But add a little rpm and.yeah!You’re in control. Problem is, you create a larger wake.Your right to feel like a master of machinery does not subvert the rights of those boat owners tied up in the marinayou’re passing, the homeowners whose bulkheads you’reundermining or the canoeist, kayaker or skiff fishermen trying to enjoy the water without having their world rocked.This might elicit shrugs, but consider that federal lawmakes you responsible for your wake. Besides, operatingin squat mode is like hanging a sign saying “Amateur” overthe side. The following tips will help you look cool whilegoing slow.Besides when in posted no-wake zones, slow downwhenever you pass within 500 feet of a small boat, theshoreline or a marina. Distances beyond that allow thewake’s waves to spread out and get rounder, disrupting other boats less and causing less erosion.Slow down in advance. Chopping the throttles as youcome abeam of a marina or close aboard to a small boatdoesn’t alleviate the wake’s effect.When operating at no-wake speed, trim the drive oroutboard to a vertical position. Neutral trim allows yourboat to proceed with the smallest wake.Larger boats can go 10 mph while idling in gear due totheir large props. If that’s you, alternately shift in and outof gear as you proceed.REMINDER – DO NOT LEAVE ANY UNATTENDED ITEMS ON THE PIER OR FINGER PIERS AT ANY TIME.Gregg T.

3Be Sure To Always Insure Your BoatAs a boat owner, it is very important to always insureyour boat & trailer for liability coverage. Dependent uponthe age and condition of your watercraft and trailer youmay decide to insure the hull and equipmentMost watercraft policies can be customized to includeliability, uninsured watercraft, medical payments, physicaldamage and towing/assistance. Coverage for the trailer,motor, personal property and electronics on the boat canalso be added.Boat thefts alone cost the insurance industry and consumers over 40 million per year. Boats and their components are easy targets because they are often unsupervisedin your driveway or at the marina, for which the marina isnot responsible. Weather related incidents can account foranother billion dollar in insured/uninsured losses.BULLETINBOARDCheck out the bulletin board behind the store for informationabout our marina. The brochureboxes are for slip owners to advertise slips for sale or rent. Theweb site has a classified sectionfor owner’s use.Watercraft policies are available for a wide variety ofboats, including family boats, sailboats, power boats, jetskis and yachts. Most makes and models can be underwritten and insured. Premiums are determined on a number offactors and there are credits available such as Lay-up Warranty, Boating Courses taken and passed, Coast Guard Power Squadron membership, rating territory [Atlantic Ocean/Chesapeake Bay etc]Remember, don’t think that your boat is protected whileit is docked at a Marina under the Marina’s insurance coverage! Most marinas only cover the legal liability for theirfacility so it is very important to obtain individual boat insurance for your own protection and peace of mind.Article provided by: Jamie Berger,Avery W.

4How to Keep a DockHose UntangledFriendly Reminders PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR DOCK BOX LIDIS SECURED WITH A LATCH/LOCK AT ALLTIMES YOUR LINES MUST BE A MINIMUM OF ½INCH AND THEY MUST BE TIGHT AT ALLTIMES. YOUR BOAT IS REQUIRED TO HAVE APPMAC STICKER - See Ginger for details.Use our tips to keep the kinks out.By Kevin FalveyIf you wish to place a dock box at your slip,please see Ginger for a form and required details.Ah, the tangled dock hose. Try bringing it aboard, andyou end up undoing kink after kink before the H20 canflow. Trying to put such a hose away is equally challenging. Proper coiling baffles some — often to the chagrin ofother boaters who share the hose. Here’s a reliable methodfor a neatly coiled dock hose.1. Walk the hose out to full length and lay it on the dock,untwisting and unkinking the worst of the hockles asyou go.2. Remove the hose nozzle, and walk back to the hosehanger. With the nozzle removed, the hose can spin outthe twists as it’s retrieved and coiled.3. Begin coiling the hose in big loops — at least atwo-foot diameter — in your hand, not on the hosehanger. Place groups of loops on the hanger if they gettoo heavy.4. Use big loops and help the hose lie naturally byflipping over recalcitrant loops as they come to hand,and subsequent uses of the hose shouldn’t require thisprocedure.LAW OFFICES OFAyres, Jenkins, Gordy & Almand, P.A.6200 Coastal HighwaySuite 200Ocean City, MD 21842410-723-140011047 Racetrack RoadP.O.

6Marine VHF Radio RangeThe real deal on VHF marine radio range.By Kevin FalveyAsk 10 boaters about the range their VHF radioachieves and you’ll get 10 different answers. Just how farcan you count on your distress call being heard?Earth Is RoundMarine VHF radios operate between 156 and 172MHz, a sliver of the very high frequency band of radiowaves between 30 and 300 MHz. It’s FM radio. We knowfrom taking trips in our cars that we have to change stations more frequently to get good reception when listeningto FM (usually while a favorite song is playing).Power output is often thought to increase range, but really, the difference in range between a 25-watt fixed VHFand a 5-watt handheld is due to the fixed mount’s antennabeing taller, and therefore it can “see” farther. More powerwill allow you to punch through static and other radio traffic better, but only within the range dictated by antennaheight. Marine VHF radios work on a line-of-sight basis.That is, they can transmit and receive to and from anotherantenna as long as that antenna is above the horizon. Howfar is that? Standing in the cockpit of a boat, the distance tothe horizon for most adults is about three miles.Can You Hear Me Now?Mount an 8-foot antenna so that it’s 12 feet above sealevel, and the horizon increases to about 4.5 miles. Of course,we’ve all communicated farther than that with a VHF radio.That’s because the height of the other antenna also comesinto play.Say your buddy has an antenna mounted atop his largecruiser at 18 feet above sea level. Combined with the 12foot height of your antenna, the two of you could conversewhile about 6.7 miles apart. If the Coast Guard’s antennais 100 feet tall, you can expect a reliable range of about 13miles. Your buddy’s 18-foot antenna would net him a rangeof about 13.3 miles.The actual distances are a bit farther, due to atmospheric refraction, but these are the distances you can count on,making satellite phones, EPIRBs (emergency position indicating radio beacons) and PLBs (personal locator beacons)very wise for anyone cruising open waters.

Why? Because VHFFM uses vertical polarization.Do This.Mount an antenna high and clear, withoutbeing alongside pipe work or another structure.OCean Pines MarinaDocking availableNow selling non-ethanol gas while at Yacht ClubSnacks, Cold DrinksSupplies & ApparelBait, Pump-Out StationOpen Dailythis Seasonfrom 6am-6pmNOWOPEN!Call for directions: 410.641.7447 www.oceanpines.orgDon’t Do This.A raked antenna may lookcool but isn’t as effective as one installed vertically.
