Make-Up Work Day Projects

Our next work days won't be scheduled until the Fall, but the club has several smaller projects that need to be done before then. These projects will take a couple of hours and can be completed either on weekday evenings after work, or on weekends. If you missed the earlier scheduled work days and you'd like to do a make-up work day, let us know when you can help us out and we'll schedule the projects with you.

1st Annual "IRONBUTT" Triathlon

Stop Dreaming, Start Paddling

Mike Swope, WRBC member and kayakpower.com guy, organized an introduction to kayaking class that was held last evening and turned out to be a tremendous amount of fun for everyone in attendance. 


"Mike, I had a blast!! And you were a terrific instructor," said Miles and later said, "Anybody who did not come out for this last night missed some serious fun."


"Thanks guys for a fun evening, I don't know how we got a 6 hour class into 90 minutes?  I guess I just talked fast," said Mike Swope.


Here's a link to some photos of the class: http://www.kpcphotos.com/92.html

Special Deal from Butterfly Boat Builder

One of the biggest costs with the boats these days is the cost of delivery, if boats are shipped via common carrier or delivered by the factory the additional cost figures in somewhere between $500-800 for each unit. Delivering a single boat is cost prohibitive on a run that far to Dallas. However multiple boats that are delivered on a single run helps cover the cost of delivery. The more boats to a trailer means a better price.


We are hopefully working on a new boat coming down this spring, and it would be great to have a few more going with it. So to that purpose I am proposing two options. A new boat option and also a rigged hull option. Hopefully we can come up with three to four boats which would in turn save everyone on the shipping.

2010 Butterfly complete package list is $4500.

Spring offer for the Dallas fleet which includes hiking strap, ratchet block and vang is $4100. If more then three boats/hulls commit the shipping cost would be included in that price. This is an additional $500 value.

2010 Butterfly rigged hull is $3200.

Spring 2010 offer for the Dallas fleet is $2800. This comes with everything ready to swap over your rig, rudder, board and sail. If more then three boats/hulls commit the shipping cost would be included in that price. This is an additional $500 value.

If boat orders are placed early enough we can also offer your choice of solid color. It would be great to have these boats all come down for the Wrangle regatta in the beginning of June.

If you have questions feel free to contact us. We just got our first batch of 2010's delivered to Michigan and it would be great to have more boats going South as well.

Sincerely,
John Hayashi
