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.

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! DannyRum Runner IVT40Mattapoisett MA
