Was able to find a Neaves Rowing sticker on the remaining 4x riggers, and they were contacted and can fabricate replacement riggers. Serial numbers were provided, waiting for a cost estimate. Very lucky!!!
2 port sweep oars, and a pair of sculls, were thrown over the fence – evidently returned by the thief. However, someone is still getting in to the boat yard – as a pair of “bait” snow skis of little value were left in the oar box to see if theft is still occuring – and they are now missing.
When trying to get the 4+/- Slingshot rowable where backstays were stolen, it was noticed the rudder, cables, and bow foot stretcher with the steering mechanism were also stolen.
Right now, there are no rowable fours. The fours from Humboldt State could be made ready to row, but work is needed to commission them. A donated Vespoli Matrix 33 without riggers was delivered to Kevin Fox as a donation to get it rowable vs wasting away in storage. Sculling riggers from Vespoli are a whopping $530 each. Kevin is excited to commission it.
A snow damaged Humboldt State 4 was delivered to Lou Zimmer’s house for repair.
