If you launched your boat on Saturday with the commercial cranes you need to fold your cradle on Sunday or our volunteers will fold it for you on Monday and the office will send you a bill for $104.30 + HST. Also, the yard will be closed to all on Monday May 9 from 8:30 to 14:00 while heavy equipment stores cradles. This means no launching, no masting, no service providers and access to W dock by water only.

Launch Work Party for Boats on Trailers
If you keep your boat on a trailer and would like help launching, we have organised work parties for Sunday May 1 and Sunday May 8. This is a great opportunity to meet fellow members while receiving a helping hand with your launch not to mention getting your boat in the water early and out of the yard which is a HUGE help to unlocking the yard gridlock. Email Parke Davis for more details and to sign up for the morning or afternoon session.
