My info might be a bit old but when I bought my boat it had been in
Somerset Marina for 3 yrs on the hard. It was marginal for a 35'
sailboat, could only launch at high tide, had to bring in an outside
crane to hoist a mast more than 50'. On the other hand it was a good
place for DIY, they didn't care what you did on the boat. The yard crew
was good, the owner bit of a crank. Use with caution, I guess.

No. I don't know anything about any of these yards except that they
aren't owned by Safe Harbor.

Thanks Andy! Taunton river sounds convenient for winter work!

Danny,
Check out Stanley's in Bristol and Shaws, O'connell's and
Bristol Marine up the Taunton River. I think everything else
in Narragansett Bay is owned by Safe Harbor.

Hello all,
Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for winter
storage somewhere around Buzzards Bay. Narragansett bay is
an option too.
The yard I was using needs to drop the mast and they can
be a little clumsy. They've damaged my boat several times
in their handling and I've done a massive amount of
cosmetic work over the last couple of years that I'd like
to protect.
I've also just completely rehabbed the mast. So, dropping
it seems like a waste of effort and cost right now. So,
I'd like to find a mast up solution if possible.
Thanks for any insights anyone can offer!
