WYC Crane is Disabled

The crane at WYC is broken down and will be unusable for up to a week. It has a bad bearing and the entire boom must be taken off so that it can be taken apart and repaired.

Until the crane is repaired, there are two alternatives:

1. Trailer launch at the Carsons Bay ramp.
2. Call Shorewood Yacht Club. Tim will give you a yacht club member rate to pay for using their travel lift.
   952-474-0600

Please Do NOT under any circumstances leave your boat and trailer in either of the WYC parking lots. 
We are regrading the east and west lots next week, and we also need the parking spaces for Thursday evening races.

Questions? Please call me at 612-701-3230
We will let you know as soon as it is fixed. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
