Barton Boat Club Skipper Larry Prakken Readies For Race Season, April 1962 Photographer: Doug Fulton

Maintenance Important: An early bird in the Barton Boat Club, Larry Prakken, isn't taking any changes on not being ready for the first race. After a thorough washing, he will scrape off the loose paint and apply an anti-fouling paint to the boat's hull for protection. All boats require some maintenance, even the fiberglass hulls. Loose fittings and leaks must also be checked before the start of the first race. Many Barton racers agree that it's easier to spread the maintenance chores over the year rather than do touch-up jobs during the sailing season.

Barton Club House: Barton Boat Club members are anxiously awaiting the first sailing day. Since the snow melted the unassembled dock in front of the club house overlooking Barton Pond has become a gathering place for both young and seasoned skippers. The club, located on Barton Shore Drive in Barton Hills, was built in the summer of 1937 by the Detroit Edison Co., the present owner of the pond. With sunny days just around the corner, many members will be taking their crafts out of the boat house for repairs in preparation for the first race, May 13.

Barton Boat Club Mates Heave-Ho, April 1962 Photographer: Doug Fulton

Grab A Side: Barton skippers don't hesitate to help a mate carry his boat from the club house, because all have the same job to do. After the nicks, scrapes and gouges are smoothed down with sandpaper, the hull is filled with a plastic wood filler before the boat can be painted and varnished. During the sailing season, daily maintenance includes keeping bilges dry, decks swabbed and cockpits tidy. All Barton boaters will agree that their favorite sport entails a lot of work, even before the craft hits the water.
