We lost it in 2018 during a fast-moving storm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/w8fnK7BUYSdfItBA3ubqFMUzR7zZOoDNiudnyCI2g5-NYubfewxz69DkATYncdVDAEFzgg0oUdTLdpE9HIpImZJ9kPYPQ4DRtFcU0deGcQwf9tFi4pHzTDZBOmUtZorUbBp9pCJK\" alt=\"major storm\"\/><figcaption>Impressive weather radar image, three hours after the storm had passed.\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ottawarivercanoe.com\/\">ORCC<\/a>\u2019s share, and a City of Ottawa Major Capital Projects grant, we\u2019re at three-quarters (75%) of the amount quoted for the job. So, how much do we still need? An estimated $21,000. Oof! That\u2019s what we said, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise the last funds needed to Bring Hydro Back to the Kanata Sailing Club. Many, many small contributions and some medium-sized contributions will get us there. Donations of any size are hugely welcome. A large contribution or two would be the cherry on top. As this is being written (Feb. 21st), we\u2019ve got just over $1,000 from generous donors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gfm-embed\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/bring-hydro-back-to-the-kanata-sailing-club\/widget\/large\/\"><\/div><script defer src=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/static\/js\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Please save and check out the campaign link just above since it contains all the gory details, and consider a contribution to bring electric power back to the site\u2026 for WiFi and coffee. Not to mention the safety and sanitation issues. Feel free too, to copy and share the link above with friends, family, on social media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"three-new-boats\">Three New Boats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have purchased and accepted delivery on three brand new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rssailing.com\/project\/rs-quest\/\">RS Quests<\/a>. These mono-hull boats will be used in training, replacing three retired Albacores, and are also certain to be a favourite boat for those who like a sweet-handling, friendly craft for their next sailing adventure with friends and family. They are also self-draining so there\u2019s no bailing after any unexpected capsize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/K9ljhY-Biwu1r5CygxizFot8T1izZrdKmqiID7BhmkhZCbByoxLfNVJ7xp--cy3Shp8JYODFHhT0MT9ln6Te6Yf17m3wzy-rVqCAws1Ksu4kZewQixcbzmzltn4OdELnF09sVtvM\" alt=\"rs quest\" width=\"640\" height=\"542\"\/><figcaption>RS Quest.

This is a versatile, hard-to-capsize single or two-handed boat that new sailors will find a dream to get out on. There\u2019s never any guarantee we\u2019ll get the grant, but we\u2019ll give you a heads\u2013up when we know.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"deck-rebuild-this-spring\">Deck Rebuild this Spring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Other great news is that we are rebuilding our beautiful deck in the early spring. We have already dismantled the old deck so there\u2019s no going back now. Onwards!\u00a0 All members, from seasoned carpenters to complete novices, are welcome to step forward to help rebuild. Watch for a sign-up in an upcoming email and on the Facebook members group when the snow is light on the ground. We can\u2019t wait to host everybody at an Open House on the new deck this summer, enjoying our spectacular view of the Ottawa River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/88gyIaoUruqVf8EFOnyNAmWwDu4RzlZheDwb8RqN1nqTPcSAoJGBWn6HGpWSrzQOH5w1q-Yb79q-xId1tLNa_TttmpaBb6RnggC-8-yJAyUX6_d0l6RJs3Nv_OkGv-ky-9cayx-n\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>A faithful friend, the old deck.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/gVKRIY-IF1sn1xs8ZGJmRaFdso5sFiQavPHVLgEgFk7en9zj-tmr9VtxmB_WobTFzGOXY6VZz8Uqxt5OEarq5F6F3wJQzB1ZjnP_OWTJElVrQcGFuoUI66OiD8Yami9nCF3rmDmt\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Deck now stripped down, but will rise again.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Help Wanted emails will go out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, if you have any comments\/concerns, do bring them up with our <a href=\"https:\/\/kanatasailingclub.com\/staging\/contact-us\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"38\">board of directors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We look forward to seeing you out on the water this 2022 season!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Membership\/training sign-ups, new boats, and hydro fundraiser info<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":2679,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[59,60],"class_list":["post-2675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-posts","tag-hydro","tag-rsquest"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kanatasailingclub.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kanatasailingclub.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kanatasailingclub.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kanatasailingclub.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kanatasailingclub.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2675"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/kanatasailingclub.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2675\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2682,"href":"https:\/\/kanatasailingclub.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2675\/revisions\/2682"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kanatasailingclub.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kanatasailingclub.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kanatasailingclub.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kanatasailingclub.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
