Facilities and Fees
The club has two main moorings areas: about 25 fore and aft moorings inside the harbour entrance and pontoon berths for 32 yachts in the inner dock. All moorings are afloat 24/7.
In addition, we have a well equipped clubhouse, a dinghy store and a spacious compound for winter storage. A work boat is available for laying moorings and race marks. Fees are calculated on a price per metre basis, according to the length of yacht.
Currently boats from 19 feet to 29 feet are accommodated on the fore and aft moorings. All mooring gear is the responsibility of the respective owners, but the Club’s elected Harbour Committee can advise and assist. The size limit for pontoon berths is 32ft.
The club hires a crane twice a year for lift-in and lift-out. These occasions occur in March or April and at the end of the season, in October. Costs are shared equally between club members.
