2 The Mariner-Issue 156 2016
This issue of our humble little rag marks its 13-years
in existence. Pretty crazy. Many know that before
The Mariner, there was a community publication
around MdR called The Dinghy. Darien Murray
ran it singlehanded from the 60s to the turn of the
century and through her power of personality andhard work, it was truly entwined into the fabric of
this community. When the energy-lled Darien
passed away, she left a void.
I think today about the moment I considered doing
itnaked in the tub. I thought, I have no idea how
to lay out or design a magazine, Ive only written
in college, I have zero publishing experience
and I dont have a penny to my nameIll do it!
I had been in the Marina a few years but wasnt
connected in any way, shape or form. I knew
a couple of my neighbors, that was about it.
I had heard, through the sub-standard grapevine,
the Argonaut newspaper and The Dinghy were
connected somehow, but no one I knew could
verify it. Going forward, I didnt want to step on
anyones toes (that might have plans to ll the
gap) and I didnt want to go through a bunch of
effort if someone with more experience and deeper
pockets was already creating something. So I made
a polite call to theArgonautand asked to speak to
a manager.
Hi, my name is Pat Reynolds. Ive noticed TheDinghy is no longer around and someone told me
you guys might have some sort of connection or
ownership of it and that you may be in the proces
of starting another one? I actually was considering
a publication to replace it, but denitely didn
want to compete or hamper anything you migh
have going
As I nished what was probably a more rambling
spiel, the voice on the other side said curtly, Its a
free country, and hung up on me. With the sound
of that click, The Marinerwas born!
All the thanks in the world to my longtime steady
advertisers for supporting this thing for all these
years and of course for all who pick it up month
after month. Its been a pleasure and hopefully
it will get better with age.
I havent, but maybe it will.

Question: I understand that each person that
drops a hoop net must be the same person
that retrieves it. How do you monitor this? If
we have 4 people in the boat and 10 nets, are
we supposed to somehow mark each net to
distinguish whose is whose?
Fish & Wildlife: The law states that the owner
of the hoop net or the person who placed the
hoop net into the water shall raise the hoop net
to the surface and inspect the contents of the
hoop net at intervals not to exceed two hours.
The intent of this law is to require a minimum
checking interval of every two hours at least by
whoever placed the net in the water and not to
cite somebody for pulling up their buddys net.
Wildlife ofcers understand if you are working
together as a team, but any net placed into the
water is your responsibility to raise and inspect
every two hours. Depending on someone
else to do that for you may result in you
receiving a citation if they fail to comply with
this requirement.
At the last Small Craft Harbor Commission
Michael Blank gave a report of the boating
section saying the Anchorage 47 construction
project is going very well. Blank said the
pile driving, demolition and new installation is
underway and going according to schedule with
a completion date of hopefully early June.
The largest milestone to report is that anchorage
47 has grown by ve docks, said Blank. On
New Years Eve the dock transfer between Pier
44 and L.A. County was nalized. Anchorage
47 now consists of 11 docks, from the 600 dock
to the 2600 dock.
Blank pointed out that through the deal, the
Los Angeles County Department of Beaches
and Harbor who are managing the anchorage,
inherited another bathroom and a parking lot.
Safe to say members of Santa Monica
Windjammers Yacht Club, who have had to
endure the contruction, will be most pleased
come June.
From now until late April, gray whales are
making their annual migration from the Pacic
Northwest to Mexico. Hundreds to thousands
of these fascinating animals will be passing
right past Marina del Rey but marine mamma
biologist urge boaters to be respectful.
The Ocean Conservation Society in Marina
del Rey reminds those who happen upon these
whales to avoid sudden changes in speed, do
not follow from behind or head on but instead
attempt to parallel the animals course. Most o
all, dont do anything that would change their
natural behavior.

Major Project on the Fast Track for So CalledGateway of Marina del Rey
At a recent community meeting, Department of Beaches and Harbors
Staff Don Geisinger discussed one of the more major projects being
discussed for Marina del Reythe construction of a Trader Joes and
West Marine to be erected at what some are calling the gateway or
front door of Marina del Rey. The high prole plot of land is the area
on Admiralty Way that most visitors would immediately see after exiting
off the 90 freeway and entering into Marina del Rey (Parcel 44).
The project described will be a full demolition of all that exists (including
the docks) and constructing an 82,000 square foot mixed use area that
would possibly include a 13,000 square foot Trader Joes market, a two-
story West Marine building, 56-spaces for dry dock storage and 11,000
square foot yacht club with an adjoining 700 square foot boat repair shop.
Additional retail space, restaurant space, dinghy and transient docks will
be included. There will be a new marina with approximately 144 slips
and ve end ties. The county expects to make a minimum $4450,000 per
year in rents until 2021 when the projection will be closer to $1 million.
A representative of the lessee also spoke and put on record that dinghy and transient docks are of great importance and that the South Coast Corinthian
Yacht Club will have a space in the facility complete with a hoist. Staff Commodore Trevor Bazely said, Just like to say its going to be a fantastic club
that well now have... [the present club] has more termites in it than wood.
Its projected the construction, once underway will go fast and its believed it will be nished by mid 2017.

RestoringDignity
Long Time Americas Cup stalwart Tom Ehman
launches his own major international event
thats about stability, style and dignity.
There are few on this planet that have lived the Americas Cup experience
like Tom Ehman. For all those who have been around this storied world
renown sporting event, its a cherished time. Cherished because its the
pinnacle, the Promised Land where the air is thin, but also because it is
mostly eeting. For Ehman it has been a long consistent career. He has
been involved exclusively in the Cup in some facet or another since 1980.
Hes an insiders insider and an absolute authority on all things AC. But
for the rst time in all these decades, he is away from the event. No longer
a member of Americas world champion Oracle Racing team, Ehman is
free to assess the landscape and he has.
Not one to sit still, Ehman immediately got to the business of creating
a large scale international race that looks to satisfy the call for an injection
of tradition back into these kinds of high-prole events. Armed with
a Rolodex of the sports largest players, Ehman has started the ball rolling
on the San Francisco Yacht Racing Challenge, a regatta he believes will
become an apex event on the international yacht racing calendar. At
the heart of the contest is the specially created one design Super 12
monohull (designed by Farr and built by Westerly) that is basically an
updated version of the classic and graceful 12-metre boat that so many
Americas Cup races were sailed in from the 50s through the 70s. Many
contend the Americas Cup 12-metre era was the greatest time the event
has ever seen. The Mariner caught up with Ehman to ask him about the
new venture and his take on the sport in general.
The Mariner:In promoting the San Francisco Yacht Racing Challenge
you say it will bring back style, dignity and stability. Are you saying
whats happening now [in the Americas Cup] is stripping the Cup of
these qualities?
Ehman: Im not taking a shot at the AC Im still Vice Commodore o
the Golden Gate Yacht Club. Hopefully the AC in Bermuda will be ne
But the sport in general admittedly has some problems. Hopefully thi
event will reenergize what all of us, both the Facebook generation and the
Flintstone generation, came to know and love. I think in some cases others
have thrown the baby out with the bath waternot just the Americas
Cup. This is not an anti-Americas Cup, its not a replacement for the
Americas Cup. I specically scheduled it after the Americas Cups done
by a month. This is my last chance. Ive been involved in the sport at
all levels. So its my looking around the sport. Weve got this iconically
beautiful and reliably windy venue here. We need to take this opportunity
and return some dignity, grace, style and stability to the sport. I think the
best way to do that is with a major international annual event, [like a]
Wimbledon or a Masters type event, which does not exist in this sport. The
Sydney Hobart Race is a big deal and one of the reasons for that is that
its the same time, same channel and same venue. A lot of people tune in
Those are the sorts of things we need in this sport. Key West Race Week
same time same channel. Charleston Race Week is another good example
of an event that is stable and digniedgreat event.

2016 The Mariner-Issue 156 9
The Mariner: So you believe an event
like this can help bring the sport back to
a former glory.
Ehman: I think people like to see big powerful
monohulls racing in a windy environment. Its
also obtainable. The rst headline to come out
of the non-sailing press wont be A Race of
Millionaires. Its still expensive compared to
competing in a local triathalon or something. This
is a team sport and will be way less expensive
than the big pro team sports in our country. It
will be much less expensive than the Americas
Cup or even sailing in Transpac, which is
bloody expensive. It brings cost back but its the
international aspect thats important too. It will be
the only team sport with a 100% nationality rule.
I think that was a huge part of the attraction to the
Americas Cup certainly from the 50s into the 90safter that there were
ways to get around it. This rule will be 100%. You have to be born in, you
have to have a passport and you have to be domiciled [in this country].
People love it.
The Mariner:The sport seemed to be doing better when American guyswith big personalities like Dennis Conner were involvedwhats your
take on seeing more personality in the sport of yacht racing?
Ehmen: Absolutely, but you cant get that attention unless you have
a nationality rule. Its the nationality rule, the structure and challenge of the
event that then creates personality. I mean, whats Jimmy Spithill done for
the Americas Cupthe guys a great personality. He is every bit as great
a personality as Dennis, Tom Blackaller, John Bertrandas is Russell,
but do you see a big following? No, because Jimmy, whos married to
an American and lives in San Diego is not considered as an American.
When he gets up and says go cheer for usit doesnt work. You have to
provide the proper conditions, event and structurethen the personalities
will come to the fore. The other thing is to hold press conferences like we
used to have. When the Australians had to come in and say well weredown 3-1, can we beat Dennis? Everyone would be crowded in there, the
media and the VIPsit is breath taking because theyre ghting for their
countrysomething everyone thinks is worth while. Its beautiful. Then
you get personalities.
The Mariner:How about your approach to the mediahow will you lm
it and make it watchable?
Ehman: Well, weve got Jeff Mason who is the Executive Producer who
produced the Emmy award winning event from Freemantle in 87. Hes
come out of retirement because he likes it so much. Hes putting together
a team that will be second to nonewere spending a lot of money on
TV. You have to have great TV. Although they had great TV for the
regatta in Bermuda and have pretty good TV in some of these sailing
events but if you have no wind or the sailing gets cancelled, if the venues
not beautifulforget it. You can have the best TV in the world, the best
graphics package, the best commentators but if the event stinks, its no
good. No ones going to watch it. So you start with a great venue, so now
what do people want to see? Turns out boats that get out of the TV frame
at supersonic speeds are not that interesting to viewers. I mean, kook at
horses going around the track at the Kentucky Derby or someplace, those
horses arent going particularly fast. You dont have to have NASCAR
or Formula One going around the track. When those horses are neck and
neck and youre considering the tactics and what the [jockey] is doing
you think man, thats cool! And in sailing, boats arent going very fast.
A big eet of powerful monohulls in a lot of wind
tacking up the City Front, coming back down
hill with symmetrical spinnakers turns out to be
way more appealing to more peopleFlintstones
and Facerbookers. Half the older gang didnt like
the catamarans and what did we get from the
Facebook generation? We certainly didnt turn
out new viewers by the thousands, let alone the
hundreds of thousands. It just didnt happen.
The Mariner:How long will the boats last and
why one-design?
Ehman: These boats are being designed
and built to have a competitive life north of
20-years. The reason for one-design someone
designs and builds a new TP52 and if they
dont get it right, the boats obsolete from
the rst regatta. If they do get it right, its good for a season or two
until someone else does something betterthats the problem with
a box rule and a rating rule. Look at the Volvo. They made the courageou
decision to one-design those boats and look, they sailed 6,000 miles and
were all on the edge of our seats watching to see whos going to win
They were nishing in some cases within minutes on those long legs.
The Mariner: Are the boats exclusively for this competition or can
people just get one to have and sail?
Ehman: I talked to Bruce Farr, I talked to Iain Murray, I talked to John
Bertrand, I talked to Dennis [Conner], I talked to [California Yacht Clubs
Tom Leweck. I wasnt going to put an engine in the boat and Leweck told
me, youre crazy, these boats will be used way more than just the regatta
in San Francisco. I really wasnt thinking in those terms at rst. When
the rst articles came out we started getting inquiries, and still are, from
people saying, I may not want to race in the regatta but can I still get one
of these boats? We cant build the boats fast enough for the people who
want to race in the regatta, but down the road if someone wants these to
keep in front of their house or in their slip in Marina del Rey, yeah surebecause they will be appealing. Theyre inexpensiverelatively speaking
less than $2 million and they are being built so robust. Theyre not carbon
glass boats, foam core, glass skins with carbon reinforcement. Theyre
be built like the proverbial you-know-what house.
The Mariner:How many boats will we see in the inaugural race?
Ehman:We can only build ve, maybe six boats for this rst event. They
have to be identicalIm not going to rush it. If we build fewer boats
because were not rushing it, thats much better than trying to hurry to
build a dozen boats for the rst event. If we can have 10 or 11 boats for
the second year, Ill have died and gone to heaven.
The Mariner:Last questiondo you miss the AC?
Ehman: You bet. Ill watch it and I hope it succeeds. Im disappointed
that its going to be in Bermuda. I think its a big uphill battle to keep
peoples interest and in the restricted waters and yada yada, but Ill be
watching with interest. Its a great event and will always be the pinnacle
event of our sport. It has waxed and waned in the past. I hope that our
event drives interest in the Americas Cup and everything else in our sport
Tom Ehman will be giving a presentation discussing all aspects of the new
race at the California Yacht Club on Admiralty Way in Marina del Rey on
February 3 - 7:30 p.m.

Chartering PoliticsThe challenge of becoming a legal chartering
company in Marina del Rey
couple of months ago, a soft spoken man stood in front of the Small Craft Harbor Commission and wondered, on the record, how
he can operate a small legal charter company in Marina del Rey. Frustrated and resigned, he spoke of the bureaucratic circle he was
stuck in and said he was confounded that a service that is so obviously in need, is realistically impossible to do legally.
Small Craft Harbor Commissioner David Lumian, a licensed Captain himself, expressed how important he believed the issue to be
I think chartering plays a big role in tourism, plays a big role in visitors, plays a big role in providing access to people who cant
afford to own their own boat. So, we want to do anything we can to encourage businesses to be viable and legal.
However, when the issue was recently revisited at a subsequent meeting, the process seemed less than quick and easy. Department of Beaches andHarbors Planner Michael Tripp, Chief Property Manager Michael Rodriguez, and Director Gary Jones were on hand to discuss the matter in greater
detail. Rodriguez and Tripp laid out the toilsome, if not tangled process, involved in becoming a legal charter company.
Mr. Rodriguez explained that a new application must rst go through a hearing stage, where the applicant presents his proposal. If approved there, they
would move on to a Small Craft Harbor meeting for approval, then to Rodriguezs department to make sure its all in accordance with the lease, then
onto the planning division, then possibly to the Design Control board, then to the Director.
Tripp discussed the obstacles of an anchorage having a parking situation that would allow for such a business. In addition, he spoke to a host of other
stipulations that a potential company would need to adhere to. Although all county reps on the dais sounded helpful, dutiful and sympathetic to the
cause of small charter companies prospering, the information they provided belied that sympathy. Director Gary Jones insinuated that small companies
scattered around the marina might not be a perfect t for the marina of the future.
Firstly, the Department can and will ensure that were very clear with lessees, with sub-lessees with potential charter operations, [about] what they do
need to do and to assist them within our area of jurisdiction, said Department Director Gary Jones. On the longer term, if this marina is to be an easily
accessible location for members of the public who want to take out a charter, we need to provide some area within the marina, some dock space, that i
dedicated for that use. But most importantly, we need to gure out how those uses park. I think, and this is just my personal belief, that means we have
to park them in a consolidated manner and that we coordinate that with shuttling around the marina.
Jones said that he recognizes that would be a change in how businesses like these have operated in the past but he doesnt see how else it could be
efciently and legally done. He spoke to the reluctance dockmasters have with allowing chartering to happen on their properties, saying they are often
looking out for the tenants who dont want the ramications of such businesses (i.e. parking concerns, noise issues, added population).
This is something that needs to be addressed in a consolidated manner, Jones said.

ow, dont get all excited and start looking for a mirror, an
artists brush and your body paint, Im referring to your boats
bottom.
Its been three years since we last hauled out, and so my son Nathan and
I are about to tackle the Beneteaus bottom for the third time. It wasnt
any fun the rst two times, and I have little expectation that this time will
deviate from the norm.
For the past couple of days, Ive been scurrying about trying to either
nd, or purchase, all the necessities for the task. Further, I am certain that
all the items I know I have (but can not nd) will turn up the day after
weve nished the work and the boat is back in the slip. You see, even
though Ive painted a lot of boat bottoms, and youd think Id have it
down by nowthe fact is, I do not. Also, making matters worse, I suffer
from A.F.S. always forgetting shi...uh...stuff. So, even I need a list, and
if I do, you do.
A word of caution: If youre the type that worries about GMOs, shops
at Whole Foods, buys Birkenstocks, has a poodle-shih-tzu mix, wears
special bicycle attire and is concerned about the ozone layer, second
hand smoke and CO2, then perhaps you should reconsider getting down
and dirty with your boats bottom...Im just sayin.
So heres your list, by the numbers.
1. Bottom Paint
Wow... theres a surprise. Personally, I use a semi-soft, high copper
content paint. Less prep and fairly long lasting if it has a lot of copper.
I know, copper is getting a lot of bad press lately, but the way I gure
itcopper is doing a lot less damage to the unnatural aquatic habitat
of the marina than the million tons of concrete and asphalt is doing to
the formerly natural habitat that existed here before it got smothered
forever under parking lots, sidewalks, buildings and roads. For some
arcane reason, nobody seems to spend much worry-time on that land-side
dimension of the damaged habitat issue. I suppose it has something to
do with water being special and the terra rma is ...uh...just dirt. Well
pressing onwarddont skimp on the paint; buy good stuff and paint less
often. My boat is 40-feet, and takes two gallonstwo coats on the hull
and three coats on the rudder, keel and waterline. But, if you cant gure
out the amount you need, just ask Jose at West Marine. He has the patience
of Job, the wisdom of Soul-Man, I mean Solomon, and knows more abou
boats than Noah. Oh, and dont mention I sent you.
2. Thinners and Solvents
More great toxic stuff. That reminds me, be sure to buy masks and
gloves. Read labels and follow directions. But, even after taking proper
precautions, you may want to reconsider having children unless youre
prepared to start your own traveling freak-show. Just kidding...well, sor
of... as you can see, the stuff has obviously been quite a tonic for my
brain cells.
3. Paint Brushes and Rollers
Cheap ones are okay unless, while your boat is on the hard, youre going
to be painting waterline stripes, boot stripes or sheer stripes. If you plan
on doing cosmetic painting then spring twenty bucks or so on a couple of
decent brushes. Dont forget roller trays, small containers for brush work
extension pole/handle, rags and a couple of non-wimpy stirring sticks
(bottom paint is thick and chunky).
4. Masking Tape
Cheap stuff is OK, if youre just rolling on bottom paint and planto remove it within 48 hours. But, if you are doing detail work or are
planning to leave the tape on for several days, buy the good stuff. Youl
know its good stuff if youre paying 10 times more than you did fo
the cheap stuff.
5. Sander and Sandpaper.
Your bottom cleaner can tell you what shape your bottom is ineven
if you arent on intimate terms. (Sorrycouldnt resist) Anyway, if the
existing paint is in bad shape you may need to do some sanding with
course paper. Purchase grit type and amount accordingly. Be aware tha

Its an El Nio year and with that,
unsettled weather patterns throughoutthe West Coast. Locally we have seenlarge swells and more rain, which, aswe know, is much needed but can keepthe less hardcore from hitting the spots.But, for those who do venture out heres the deal.
As of January 1, 2016, there is a two-month rocksh closure. However, thegood news is we are starting to seesquid (candy) arrive and stay around thebay, which is the main food source forthe white seabass and that is a very
good thing.
In our local waters, anglers are lling theirbags with lingcod, sand dabs, halibut andsea bass, also the local yellowtail bite isstill pretty consistent. Use mackerel and/or squid with a dropper loop rig and goodthings may well happen.
On the lobster from hoop netters anddivers are now heading more towardsdeeper waters. The bugs seem to bewalking farther and farther for their foodas a result of the storm activity. The bestbet for hoop netters is to get out early anduse fresh mackerel.
As of this writing Mexican waters arecooler than normal which has made thepelagic bite slow down but word has itthe marlin bite is still hanging on.
Until next timeTight Lines

some yards dont like you to do a lot of sandingsomething about dust,
pollution or some darn thing or another. But, if thats the case, purchase
a sander that can be hooked up to a vacuum system, so you wont catch hell
from the yard manager. And dont forget to wear a dust mask, otherwise
youll be spitin up chunks the color of your bottom paint, not to mention
croakin en coughin like Doc Holiday...FYI, it didnt end well for Doc.
6. Grinder
This comes in handy when sandpaper just aint cuttin it. Exposed castiron keels often need a little touch up with a stout grinder and a steadfast
vigorous man behind it. Wear a mask and eye protection, grit your teeth
and, Giter done!
7. Materials
Fiberglass resin, Marine Tex, West Systems, Gluvit Formula 27, and other
assorted llers and faring compounds. Odds are that you will have a few
dings or blisters that will require some judicious attention. For numerous
or deep blisters and major repairs, consult a proHarry Gibson comes to
mindor the yard guys. Remember to read the labels and ask questions if
youre not sure what product to use. Have I mentioned asking Jose at West
Marine? (if he wasnt such a nice guy hed probably whack me over the
head). Oh, and dont forget scrapers and putty knives.
8. Tools
Think of all the jobs that you want to accomplish while in the yard, and
bring the appropriate tools. On second thought, bring every tool you own
cuz the one you leave in the garage is the one you will end up needing.
Unfortunately, I often nd a hammer comes in handy for many things
recalcitrant in nature; use judiciously, but with resolve, for best effect.
9. Wax and Polishing Compound
It is a lot easier to compound and wax your boats hull in the yard rather
than in the water. Set aside time to do it, if possible.
10. Installations
If you are planning to update or add to your underwater instrumentation
than plan accordinglyhole saws, underwater bedding compounds, dril
and bits, wire snake and a box of basic electrical connectors, wire-ties
fasteners and wire would be a good start. A word of caution...cutting holesin your boats hull and messing around with electrical wiring is not a job
for a novice. Call West Coast Marine Electric and speak with Mark or
if were talkin about electronics/instrumentation, give Ken at Maritime
Communications a jingle.
11. Tarps and Work Lights
In some cases might be a good idea and are probably smart to have around
12. 100 Feet of Hose and a Nozzle
Yards usually have hoses (with dozens of holes in them and a crushed end
tting) bring your own and save yourself some grief.
13. A Stout LadderMost yards have ladders, but often they are more than a tad rickety (one
level above death-trap) so not a bad idea to have your own. A four to six
footer should do it.
Wow! I got tired just writin about all this stuff, not to mention the hassle
and cost of buying it all. You know, on second thought, just call Victor
or Scott at the Boatyard, tell them to handle it (an intelligent course of

It was a beautiful day with some crazy shifty wind for this years Champagne Series hosted by the South Bay Yacht Racing Club. The forecast had it
building to be over 12-kts up to 16 by the late afternoon. The reality was unstable wind shifting between 217 and 270 degrees that spanned speed
from 2-kts, neglible knts, to almost 7-kts.
After postponing for almost 30 minutes to wait, plead, hope, and dance for wind, race committee started the rst race in just over 4-kts. It died after 20
minutes, leaving many racers stranded, bobbing and waiting for anything to ll their sails.
Although there were no boom-bending jibes, there was one exciting no wind, slow motion nish in PHRF A that was fun to watch and ended with les
than one foot between racers. After some oating and drifting, the racers got enough wind to nish Race 1.
Thankfully there was enough wind to run a second race for another short jaunt around the marks. The wind was consistent and almost reached 7-kts, so
the competitors got to end their day with a fun little run.
The cruisers were able to grab some decent wind farther out on the course, though the commitee still had to shorten the courses from 10 to 7.2 miles.
By all accounts the Cruisers had a good day of sailing. The overall Cruiser winner (who raced spin) was Denny Browne on A Cappella, and the rstnon-spin nisher was Steve Klitzky on Sea Bear.
The winner of the SBYRC Champagne Perpetual Trophy was Curt Johnson on Avet of CYC, and the winner of the One-Design Kleve Perpetual
Trophy is Rick Ruskin onIndel, a Santana 30/30, of SBYRC (pictured right).

With the winter weather keeping many
boaters on land taking care of annual
maintenance, its a good time to go through
your vessel and take stock on all your safety
equipment. U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary
provides free Vessel Safety Checks (VSC)
year round to help you out. Almost every
type of boat is eligible for a Vessel Safety
Check, from kayaks and inatables to luxury
yachts. Here is an example of an item on the
list of things all boats should carry.
Visual Distress Signals
One of the most common reasons for a boatnot passing a vessel examination is expired
ares. Flares expire fairly quickly and if
you think they will still work after that
date, think again. All boats 16-feet and over
must carry either three day and three night
pyrotechnic distress signals, or a certied
non-pyrotechinc day signal (such as an
orange distress ag) and non-pyrotechinc
night signal (certied distress light), or a
combination of those. There are are kits
available that come with the needed items.
But even if you already have them, you must
check the expiration dates.
If youd like to gain some experience in
shooting off your old ares, as well as
properly disposing of them, then contact
the Auxiliary to nd out when and where
our annual Flare Day event will be (usually
sometime in Spring). You might be surprised
by how many duds there are.
