Foreshore Services at WVYC

WVYC makes it easier to enjoy being a boat owner. Members have access to the best facilities to care for their boats all in one place - which reduces maintenance costs significantly. Vessel maintenance equipment at WVYC includes:

Mast Tower

The mast tower enables sailboat owners to make necessary repairs to their rigging aloft. The tower has four gantries so that members can access their rigging at whatever level necessary. The mast tower is currently out of service due to planned renovations.

East & West Hoists

The small boat East Hoist has a working load of 4000lbs and is used for a variety of tasks. It enables the Club's dry moorage fleet access to the water and is available for the Club membership when required. The West dry moorage wharf stores racing sailing boats that are greater than 26'. There, a 5 ton motorized hoist is used to launch and haul these vessels. The boats are stored on custom dollies for ease of movement and efficient pre-race launches.
