As the leaves of summer transform into their autumn hues, our beloved sailboats and motor yachts one by one find new (but temporary) homes on land and in the water for this year's winter storage season.
Dry storage haul-outs have begun steadily as vessels make their way to allocated areas in the boatyards of Haven Harbour Marina and Haven Harbour South via the guidance of knowledgeable and experienced lift crews.
Other vessels will be wet storing throughout the coming months, and have already begun the process of preparing onboard systems for in-water winterization.
"We dry store around 220 vessels and about 30 more in the water each year here at Haven Harbour Marina," explained Service Manager Kyle Ulrick.
Over at Haven Harbour South, roughly 130 vessels call its boatyard home each winter – with several more taking up protected slips for wet storage.
We will be providing weekly winter updates on marina and boatyard conditions right here in Harbour News. If you have any questions, comments or concerns – or would like to inquire about future winter storing of your vessel at either Haven Harbour Marina or Haven Harbour South – please visit havenharbour.com/winter.
As a reminder, we kindly ask that perishable food items be removed from storing vessels prior to haul-out. For items that may not be accepted by local food banks, such as certain liquids, please take home – or consider leaving in our service offices as form of donation to the technicians working tirelessly to ready us for this year's looming winter storage season.
