sailboat storage

[thurps]

Do you call a storage lot for fully rigged (less sails) trailered sailboats a dry sailing basin? Storage lots that you can access the launch ramp without putting down your mast.

Re: sailboat storage

That would be one word BUT i thing it changes a bit buy location as we just call it dry sailing

Most places in this area are only setup for boats less than 4000# that are crane launched due to the problems with tides and ramps

In my neck of the woods they are called marinas. Most full service marinas have slips, trailer & boat storage, a ramp or 2, travel lifts or forklifts for launching power or sailboats. One designs that race often are stored dry on cradles and put in by forklifts.

Re: sailboat storage

Can't say I've ever seen a place that catered only to trailered sailboats.

Re: sailboat storage

Your question is totally valid. Where I grew up (Madeira Beach, FL), pretty much all the marinas had ramps of their own, and most had a yard or lot where you could store a sailboat, mast up. When I moved to St. Augustine, I was shocked to find that there are no marinas with that option here.

You should be able to store it in a parking lot at any storage unit for about 50$ a month
