We are preparing for the spring splash! Our crew has been trying to get
things in order so that we can have an easy season ahead.
The Travel List is ready to go including the mast crane. We now have a
new set of slings to better serve you.
We have had a many positive remarks about the new system. Those of you
who have not used our service yet I think will enjoy a number of
advantages including more flexible operating times, having a calm lift
point at virtually all times, and much more controlled lifting and
placing.
The rates for lifting remain as follows: $8 per foot of overall
length measured stem to stern plus fixed hardware added both bow and
stern. This charge includes the well fee that we pay to the City of
Marquette. Boats that are less than 25 feet will be charged a fixed
rate to which we will need to add the charge to the City for the use of
the well. The mast lift is now installed and we plan to use it just
after the slings are in place and the boat raised a few inches to have
complete control over the operation. This should be a welcome
improvement over previous operations. with boats moving about. The fee
will be in the $50- $90 range depending on the size of the mast and the
time it takes. We expect payment at lift time for the pull and any mast
work as our fees do not reflect billing and collection expenses.
Please coordinate with at least one other boat so that we don't have to
set up the lift so many times and so you will all have the necessary
help to make the lift go safely and smoothly. We will of course supply
an operator. If you do not have a 'buddy' let us know and we will match
you up with someone.
Some special notes: Know where the slings are supposed to be for a safe
lift and to clear bunks on trailer
Sailors have your mast ready to
raise by releasing all tie downs and stops.
Sailors are reminded to have all
pins, cotter pins, and tools to assemble the rigging.

We look forward to serving you. Please contact us by phone (228 6670) or
email and we can schedule a tentative date which can be modified as
necessary. It is helpful if you can schedule with Peggy at 228 6670 as
she maintains the master calendar. Additionally Pete and Repete are
frequently operating machinery which may make it difficult to document
your scheduling requests. If there are special considerations, please
let us know at that time.
We are accumulating data sheets on all boats; if we have your
information we only need to be advised of any changes (particularly cell
phone #'s & emails).
We are pleased to be offering this service to the Marquette area. It is
adding a new dimension to our waterfront.
It is an expensive special purpose machine and we appreciate your
participation to make it work. Thank you.
