The Province of NB has a used oil program, whereby every retailer who sells oil in NB is required to accept used oil for recycling. Products covered under the program include; engine oil, hydraulic fluid, lubrication oil & grease, transmission fluid. Antifreeze cannot be mixed with the used oil. oil filters are to be drained, put into a plastic bag & disposed of in the regular garbage. Members will now be required to dispose of used oil at an approved facility as the club will no longer have the "barrel" on the premises. In addition, you will have to take your old batteries back to the retailer as we will no longer allow dumping of batteries at the club. This should solve our problem and hopefully not inconvenience members too much. On Feb.9, 2010 Liz and Syd Brittain joined Pat and Miriam Heeney on board their new sailboat Skye in the Bahamas for two weeks. The weather was coolish and we were only able to get in the water once, however, the sailing, company and food was great. Pat and Mariam will be heading back to RYC this spring. See a few more photos here.

We are working on updating information on the website for 2010 so check back soon to see new pictures, new officers, new schedule of events, membership, and Junior Sailing and more.
The devices for doing this were connected by several people just recently and in the pictures you can see the warning signs signalling open water and thin ice and two of the 'grinning' crew who helped with the setup. Among others, Johnnie, Doug and Leo were also involved. Be careful if you are around there this winter.

Dear Rothesay Yacht Club Members,
We are trying to be more environmentally responsible where we can these days and the disposal of oil and batteries is one area where we can do a better job. In the past we have had a barrel for oil disposal and batteries have just been piled in the same area. Neither of these solutions was really satisfactory of course.
As you all know we are experimenting with trying to keep the water open around the poles for the docks in order to save time and money at the beginning of the season.
