Actually, as marinas go, it's not that bad, though certainly not up to the
standards of the high end marinas in the Eastern sound. But a yacht club it
ain't.


Care to explain why it's not a yacht club?

Some things you probably don't know:

Basic sailing and boating courses are conducted at NMYC
3 cook-outs are held each season for members
We have 5 times more facilities for members and transients than your
facility.
We have moorings, slips, rack storage and marginal walkway dockage
We have discounts arranged for members at West Marine and local
restaurants
We have discounts for members at Doyle sails
We handle more transients than anyone else
We have a real dockmaster
We have our own tow boat
We have a commodore

And finally..we are listed as a Yacht Club by the State of NY. We are
also listed as a full service marina, but that's another business run
by someone else. The marina is not the slips, it the service docks.
Dave, you truly and really have no clue about this or even what a yacht
club is. You think it's a wooden bar stool and some kiddie boats. Fine.
Make up your own definition.
Moorings suck. I'm sorry if you're on one. Don't forget to top the
launch driver!
Oh, and you actually pay to hang on some rope and chain. Sad.
