UPDATE WHARF & RAMP RENOVATIONS

Work on the Wharves is progressing well. The full length of the South wharf is now constructed. The side piles have been increased in height for the Finger Piers which are now in place. The T at the end of the wharf is now being completed and work is underway to install the electricity cables. We will continue to post photos of the progress at CLUB INFO/Wharf Renovations.

Both slabs of concrete on the launch ramp have been laid thanks to the work of a number of your Executive Members and Seagull. Launching from a trailer should be a lot better this Spring. Photos can be seen at RAMP RENOVATIONS
