Kincardine Liftout Scheduled for October 5
The season has gone by quickly. Lift-out is approaching. We have scheduled the crane on Saturday October 5. This year we will attempt to lift all the boats onto the parking lot area. In the past, space within reach of the crane has been a limitation. With the hydraulic trailer, we can move many boats out of the lift area and make room for the 6 boats we could not fit previously.
As you can imagine, it will take a lot of planning to accommodate all the boats. If you want want your boat to be lifted out, please send an email to lifts@kyc.ca. If we don't hear from you by September 20, you will not be on the list and you will be on your own to get your boat lifted out. We have information for boats lifted previously. If you are a new boat, or you need special arrangements for your boat, please let us know as soon as possible. We cannot accommodate boats with the mast on deck that extend more than 1 meter (3 feet) from either end.
Members who wish to volunteer to help, please send an email to lifts@kyc.ca. We will not look for posts or comments on Facebook.
Kincardine Marina
The Kincardine Marina is halfway between Sarnia and the North Channel. The harbour is open 24 hours a day, and has over the years, been a haven of refuge for weary boaters. No boat has ever been turned away from Kincardine, even 70 footers have been known to shelter at the harbor when Lake Huron’s waves become too wild. The marina can accommodate over 150 boats with 14 slips reserved for transient boaters.
While at the harbor, visit the Lighthouse Marine Museum, take a romantic walk on the boardwalk, watch a magnificent sunset and listen to the Phantom Piper Pipe down the sun from atop the lighthouse. With it’s close proximity to Kincardine’s downtown, boaters can walk to restaurants, the laundromat and shop in the downtown core.
