  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Each time-slot is 45 minutes long.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;This is tight, but in order to get everyone's mast down in time for Haul Out, we will need everyone to have everything ready by the time that their turn comes up. (In other words,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;the time that you have booked is that time that you arrive at the dock with everything prepared, as described below.&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;At your designated time, you are expected to be at the dock and ready to de-mast. If a boat is already at the crane you may tie up on the other side or behind the boat at the crane.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Being ready to de-mast means that you have:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Boats at the crane should have bow pointed towards the lake in prep for removal of mast&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;As mast is lowered, the bottom of mast should point towards lake to facilitate removal from boat&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Masts that are removed must be placed on one of the designated mast racks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The racks should be filled beginning with the bottom row first. All loose lines/shrouds/spreaders should be secured to mast&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;At your designated time, you are expected to be at the dock and ready to de-mast. If a boat is already at the crane you may tie up on the other side or behind the boat at the crane.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Boats at the crane should have bow pointed towards the lake in prep for removal of mast&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;As mast is lowered, the bottom of mast should point towards lake to facilitate removal from boat&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Masts that are removed must be placed on one of the designated mast racks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The racks should be filled beginning with the bottom row first. All loose lines/shrouds/spreaders should be secured to mast&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;At your designated time, you are expected to be at the dock and ready to de-mast. If a boat is already at the crane you may tie up on the other side or behind the boat at the crane.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Boats at the crane should have bow pointed towards the lake in prep for removal of mast&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;As mast is lowered, the bottom of mast should point towards lake to facilitate removal from boat&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The racks should be filled beginning with the bottom row first. All loose lines/shrouds/spreaders should be secured to mast&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;At your designated time, you are expected to be at the dock and ready to de-mast. If a boat is already at the crane you may tie up on the other side or behind the boat at the crane.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The racks should be filled beginning with the bottom row first. All loose lines/shrouds/spreaders should be secured to mast&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

(In other words,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;the time that you have booked is that time that you arrive at the dock with everything prepared, as described below.&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;At your designated time, you are expected to be at the dock and ready to de-mast. If a boat is already at the crane you may tie up on the other side or behind the boat at the crane.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Being ready to de-mast means that you have:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

      <title>⛵   ️    Registration for 2026 Haulout work crew positions (October 22, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Sign up for haulout work crew / work hours. Click on the Registration button to choose your role and time slot.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Haulout is on October 22, 2026.&lt;/strong&gt; We are hoping to do a one-day haulout this year. Because the haulout is during the week, we appreciate that many skippers will not be able to attend. We are organizing the haulout so that we will be able to haul out all boats regardless of whether the skippers are able to attend or not.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Shift times:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote style="line-height: 16px;"&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Morning shift: 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM (please ensure you arrive early for shift start)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Afternoon shift: 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Notes:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bzDiWtyyvNaD4oUNSwJ7Mh7xXL1ZN00PxHfyTZkwTDs/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;First time volunteering? This guide will tell you what to expect on launch / haulout&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Lead sling handlers will be registered separately. A waitlist for filled-up roles will be available. All positions will be confirmed by email closer to haulout.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Please wear safety gear (provided) and weather-appropriate clothing. Sling handlers must wear gloves and steel toe boots. Any volunteers who refuse to wear safety gear (as advised by the safety officer or a member of the launch / haulout committee) will be asked to leave the event and will forfeit their volunteer work hours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
