Boating
Dockage
Club wharves provide over 500 feet of dockage, and massive breakwaters form a well-protected basin which can hold an additional fifty boats at floating finger-piers. Available depth at low water is 9 feet.
The launching ramp accommodates trailered boats and self‑loading boat transporters.
Mast Crane
The mast crane, located in the camber, has a 1,000‑lb lifting capacity.
Haulout & Launch
The Dobson has a travel lift with the following capacity:
- Weight: 20 tons (18 tonnes)
- Lenght: 50 feet (15 meters)
- Beam: 15 feet ( 4.5 meters)
- Draft: 8 feet (2.4 meters)
Vessels exceeding the Travel Lift’s capacity can be handled by cranes rented locally.
Launching Ramp
The launching ramp accommodates trailered boats and self‑loading boat transporters.
Maximum predicted tidal range in Sydney, according to the Canadian Hydrographic Service, is 4.4 feet (1.3 metres). However, strong winds and high or low barometric pressure can cause significant increase or decrease of the actual water level.
On Land Storage
Our extensive grounds can store more than 110 boats.
Space is limited, so boaters requiring storage should book early!
