Jeff F has it about right.
I’m a
member at Dartmouth YC; and usually stay in the
water there for winters. Their
gear is all relatively new, strong and reliable.
Power is available year round if you want it. Good yard crew, they know their stuff. Travel
lift is old but well maintained, and lifts several 25+ ton
boats twice a year.
Location is great for
boat work- you’re at the foot of the biggest industrial supply park east of Montreal; and easy drives to
airport and to downtown; but the best chandler (the Binnacle) is about a 15 min drive away.
Armdale YC and RNSYS are both excellent clubs, but use a marine railway and a hydraulic
trailer instead of a travel
lift. Slightly less convenient, but they manage.
Cost of
storage will be similar at AYC and Dartmouth; and a bit higher at RNSYS (it’s the Royal, you know).
Feel free to pm me if you want more local knowledge. I live and
work about 800m from the rnsys.
