My father in law kept his Pearson 33 at Fort Rachel Marina and had positive experience there as well. We managed to win the cruiser's race in 1991 called the Zimbawe Cup, just beating a Ranger 33 and a Hobie 16 on corrected time. Great fun. Great party afterward. Chuck S > On

IIRC, wasn't someone just looking for a marina in this area? And also, was this the marina that everybody was saying was really bad? Bill Coleman Entrada, ERI PA On Mon, Nov 28, 2022, 12:12 David Knecht via CnC-List wrote: > I can’t say I am terribly saddened. Seaport Marina is the worst

David, Many have had the same bad experiences. They just sold their other marina, Noank Shipyard, many boat owners and vendors had left there well before that. I am also a very happy Fort Rachel customer. They are the best around IMHO. From: David Risch via CnC-List Sent: Monday,

I can’t say I am terribly saddened. Seaport Marina is the worst marina I have ever kept my boat at for the winter. Bent my stanchions, scraped my paint, power never worked in yard, water never worked, claimed they were going to work on my transmission and never did. I was there one winter

I was at the Mystic one last night. I live about a mile from downtown and my boat is right across the river from Seaport Marine. When the explosions started happening we rushed down. It was caused by an open neutral on the power feed from the building to shore power to the boats in the water.

My wife and I did ours last winter with the boat leather.com version with the foam. It was much easier as a two person job, but took us a while. We would do about 2 feet of stitching each day and then got tired of it and would pick it up in a day or two so the project stretched out over a few
