Launching for cats is from a protected breakwater and boat storage is on a grassy lawn. Corsairs can launch from a trailer ramp adjacent to the yacht club or use the club's 2 ton hoist. There is a public dock across the street from the yacht club with plenty of room for securing your boat. Limited housing is available on a first come, first served basis.
The Notice of Race is attached. Please call or e-mail me with any questions.
