Service Update: work dock open for business and valet/launching will begin!

(posted 6/9/2011)

• The work dock is open for fuel and pumpout services starting today! Summer hours are 9-5, seven days a week. See current prices in the sidebar.
• Valet service will begin this Saturday, June 11!
• Launching will begin Monday, June 13!
• The crane motor will be reinstalled tomorrow and crane function assessed.
• As posted on 6/2 our seasonal docks are open with power and fresh water. The make shift ramp is no longer needed and has been removed. Repairs to the walkway in front of the store have begun, but it remains closed.

Boats will be launched in the order originally scheduled. We will be working overtime to get you on the water as quickly as possible. There will be no exceptions to the 3 day limit on our docks as our biggest hurdle will be dockspace.

You can help us and your fellow boaters by:

• calling your summer facility and confirming that your dock/mooring is ready.
• taking your boat off our docks as soon as possible.

All of us at the Shipyard thank you for your patience throughout this unusual spring.

Our Docks are Now Open and Have Electricity!

(posted 6/2/2011)

While we cannot launch boats at this time, we have launched a make shift ramp to allow access to the docks. If you have migrated from southern waters or can trailer to the nearest boating access your dock space awaits. We have power and fresh water on the docks. Our fuel dock is still underwater, but the electrical has been approved, so as soon as the water goes down we can flip the switch on. Treadwell and Point Bay Marina's are pumping fuel. We will be posting status updates as they occur.

Lake level magic number is 101.5!

(posted 6/2/2011)

In an effort to get you on the water as soon as possible, yard crew in hip waders and armed with long metal pipes have been looking for compromised areas in the work dock roads. While the lake level has to drop to 101.5 ft before we can determine the full extent of any damages, we are actively checking, planning, and repairing as the water level allows. Electricians, fuel service technicians, cleaning services and excavators have been lined up and are ready to assist with repairs at a moment's notice.

Go to http://nh.water.usgs.gov/echo_gage/measurements.htm for real time Lake data measured at the Echo Center in Burlington.

Get your launch contracts in to reserve your space in the queue. We will post updates as they occur.
