Slips beat Moorings
 

If I were on City Island, the last place I'd want to be is dockside
with the
Latino beat blaring from the neighbor's boom box. A mooring would be
far
preferable, particularly with the 24 hour launch service the other
clubs
offer.


Ah yes....when Dave loses on every point, why he'll just make something

up!
There is no loud radio playing permitted at our club. The slips are
privately owned. This is not Bayside marina. We have 24 hour security
and a dockmaster. And please don't lie about launch service. I sail
boats out of HYC, SYC, CIYC...come in late at night and we have trouble

getting a pick up half the time. A few times we had to go to the
service dock and have even left the boat there. Douglaston yacht club
is at least honest about it....no 24 hour service.
There is nothng prefereable about a mooring here. Slip gives the
following...


More secure in bad weather (far less damage to boats here)
More secure due to dockmaster and workers watching boats daily.
Instant boat access.
Ability to use boat even when it's rough, wet, or just not a good
sailing day. The luanch drivers will not take you to your boat when
there's a blow.
Ability to wash, maintain boat whenever.
Full time electric and water
Real service dept on the premises
Dinghy dock is free and in water. Usually a crappy rack at mooring
based clubs.
Expect to get as much as 1/3rd more use out of the boat when at a slip.

Easier for everyone to go sailing, especially kids and elderly.
Simply a more upscale experience. You never are made to feel like a
guest. Be treated like you LIVE THERE.
No waiting for the launch, no tipping the driver.
Easy loading and unloading of anything. If you forgot something, you
can get it without calling for help from the launch driver.
Control. Slips give you more out of your boat. It's such a huge time
advantage that you'll wonder that you were on a mooring at all. People
who get slips never go back to moorings if they can help it!

There are some areas where boats in slips are at a greater risk for
damage, but the LIS is not one of them. Moorings here are simply the
low end. Been there, done that.

Sounds like a Republican country club.

Any negroes in your club besides the help?

We have two very pretty dock bunnies, 21 and 23 and one has her
captains license already. She's the hot one...and off to the Yale next
year, but back for 2008! Our dockmaster is Spanish and very good at his
job.

Are you refering to the negroes as "bunnies"?

Just three token minorities out of hundreds? And one is the "help"!

That's less than 1%!

Racist Club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE only have one negro at our marina and he just comes in to fish,
he was kicked out. The owners dont actually allow "blacks" to rent slip
space. Its a unofficial policy for obvious reasons.

Yacht clubs are one of the last bastions of racism.

Actually I dont mean to sound racist. It is just factually so. I don't
believe there are any jews in there either come to think of it but then
I don't know everyone.
The owner is a good ole boy from Georgia which explains alot of
things.
