Re: Zodiac - detached pontoons from transom
Hey, I thought you would be interested in this nobrainsd. If you send an email asap you can get an inspection. I'm going to wait until I fix my boat and I'll definitely post some pics. Oh ya, my seat idea doesn't work. Cheap plastic seats broke first time out.. Totally lame. How are your seats working?
Next vessel inspection date, Friday, August 22, 2008. Please review Press Release and following the instructions outlined when requesting a reservation. Vessel inspections are limited to the first 20 applicants.
Thank you,

Next Vessel Inspection Date for Gaviota Boat Hoist Announced
Goleta ? California State Parks officials announced today that the next Vessel Inspection Certification for boaters who want to launch their boats at Gaviota State Park will be held on Friday, August 22, 2008. Vessel inspections are limited to the first 20 applicants.
Requests for a reservation should be sent by email to the Hoist Distribution List at
gaviotahoist@parks.ca.gov. A reservation is not guaranteed. Applicants will receive an email confirming their attendance or informing them that the 20-applicant limit has been reached. Sign-up requests must include applicants? first and last name as well as their phone number with area code. Each person wanting to sign up must apply with his/her own email address.
Location/time of the vessel inspection and other information will be provided when attendance is confirmed.
Vessel owners who pass the vessel inspection and who have completed Hoist Operator Training will receive a Hoist Proximity Card, which activates the hoist.
Additional information about the hoist program is contained in two free publications. Applicants should be familiar with both. The Hoist Program Information Handbook provides general information about the hoist program, including how to obtain the Hoist Operator I.D. Card and Hoist Proximity Card. The Hoist Operator Training Handbook gives step-by-step instructions on how to operate the hoist. Both are available on the Gaviota State Park web page, which is accessed through the California State Parks website at
www.parks.ca.gov.
The Hoist Distribution List,
gaviotahoist@parks.ca.gov, is the primary method California State Parks uses to communicate with boaters interested in the boat hoist at Gaviota State Park. Boaters who do not have access to email can mail their sign-up request to Gaviota Hoist Program, #10 Refugio Beach Road, Goleta, CA 93117.
The department also maintains a recorded information line with current status of the boat hoist and other park information at (805) 968-1033.
