Jim Wade does a wonderful job maintaining marks for SYC. As I understand, he partners with a local shrimper to get it done,

Zephyr bought Z mark while Fresh Pineapple purchased the W mark in December 2023 from Rolyan for $1000 each. Both are in dry storage as the ground tackle failed in two years. The key is to shorten the vertical chain to lake debt and ensure a barge chain is used at the bottom to handle corrosion from the mud. As well, Rob and team are designing a new concrete anchor to prevent drift in the future.

Maybe we can check the marks before each series to maintain race quality?

We love volunteers!
