Hi,
What's everyone opinion on the best/cheapest places to haul out on the Swan River.
I have a Spacesailer 22 that I keep on a mooring in Claremont. Just looking for somewhere to haul out for a couple of days to do the annual spray off and antifoul.
I'm currently a member of NYC and I can use the club jinker and workbay for $10 per day. But, I'm not using the club for anything else (not racing), so I'm trying to work out if its cheaper to save myself the $600 club fees and pay for a haulout at some other facility.
I'd prefer to find a place on the river so transiting the bridges doesn't have to be added to the chore of a haulout.
Cheers
I think the club deal would be the way to go. $10 a day means you can have an extended stay and you are probably getting other benefits from your membership.
The other alternative is to buy a secondhand duel axle boat trailer and convert it into your own yacht carrier. I did this for a 26 foot yacht. Then you can lower the mast and take the boat home. Rent it out to your mates when not in use. Downside is it takes up room at your place.
