If this is your first time being assigned race committee, there should be an experienced member on RC with you. If not contact the Rear Commodore of Racing. For the details on RC duty, go to the Race Committee web page. On this page find the Race Committee Workbook. This contains all the details you will need. You also want to review the rest of the documents on this page also.
Club member contact information, your address, phone number, etc., is maintained by the Membership Secretary. You can see who this is by going to the web site "NSC" menu (at the top of the page) and selecting the "Fleet Council" item.
The Nockamixon Sail Club is a club of boat owners and does not provide sailing lessons. There are sailing schools that have posted links to their WEB sites from our site. Check out the links at http://www.nockamixonsailclub.org/web_links We, of course, do not make recommendations to a specific school, but encourage you to investigate which offering might best suit your needs.

As of this writing wet slips are readily available. There is a waiting list for dry slips for both the summer and winter season. We do not maintain these lists however so be sure to check with the marina administrators at the number above.
The summer wet slip season runs from April through November. You can put your boat in your slip as early as the first of April. It must be removed by the last day of November.
The summer dry slip season runs from May to October. You can put your boat in her dry slip on the first of May. It must be removed by October 15.
YouTube provides the HTML information you need to embed the video in a web page. It is typically located on the video's page in a block in the upper right corner. Select the Embed html and copy it (use Ctrl-c)
Back on the NSC web site, if you look closely at the post entry screen, near the bottom you will find "Input Format". Click on it. The menu will open and give you some choices. Select "HTML Corrector". Then the text edit area will show the HTML for what you have entered in your post so far. Find where you want to insert the embed and paste it there (use Ctrl-v).
After you can choose "WYSIWYG" format to finish up, if you like.
Some of the site content is restricted to club members only. You must be logged in as a club member to see this otherwise you will get "Access Denied"
Fleet pages are maintained by the NSC Webmaster. Have the Fleet Captain for the fleet send all changes to webmaster@nockamixonsailclub.org.
The NSC currently does not post paid advertising on the web site. Club members can submit a link to webmaster@nockamixonsailclub.org for our "Cool Web Links" section.
The official policy on commercial activity on the site is:
Any club member may submit a vendor/supplier web link for posting on the NSC web site. The information posted will include a short description of the services offered and a small number of links to their web site and or email contact information. There will be only one posting per vendor. The services offered must be in alignment with Article II of the NSC Constitution to be posted. The NSC Webmaster will confirm this is the case. If not he will remove the posting.
We do occassionally take advertisements for placement in our quarterly newsletter, The Compass. If interested contact the NSC Communications Officer.
You have two choices. The preferred method is to post to the NSC.ORG section of the Forums. You can also send email to webmaster@nockamixonsailclub.org.
Create a blog post with the full url of the site you want to link in the body of the post. For example, http://cnn.com is a full url. In the blog post, be sure provide a description of the link and why it's interesting.
You
get to the point of creating your post by selecting "My blog" which is
located towards the top of the right column of the site once you are
logged in. From there select "Post new blog entry".
The key to adding it to the current list of links is setting the "Contents" indication. Make sure "Cool Web Links" is selected.
