_MG_2765

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: 

  • A marine elevator with a capacity of 40,000 lbs will lift most vessels up to 40 feet in length. Click here for rules of operation.
  • 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. Click here for rules of operation.
  • The small boat 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. Click here for rules of operation.
  • The dry moorage wharf is bound by the C and E ramps to the west of the Yachting Center. This wharf stores racing sailing boats that are greater than 26'. There is a 5 ton motorized hoist to launch and haul these vessels. Training is required for those who use this hoist. The boats will be stored on custom dollies for ease of movement within this confined space.

Members who are unfamiliar with the operation of these pieces of equipment are asked to consult with the club staff for assistance.

Other WVYC amenities every boat-owner will appreciate:

  • Dry storage for boats up to 36 feet
  • Workshop
  • Fuel station next to the club 
  • Fire extinguisher checks
  • Special discounts for group insurance
  • Marine supply shops/services nearby
