New Facilities and Docks - Aug. 2005

This summer when you come down to the resevoir, the Atco trailor which was our home for so many years, will be gone! The legacy left behind from Mobility Cup 2005 includes a new, larger facility and a brand new wooden dock to call our own! Read about it in our Community Report. The facility is located south from the Boat Patrol office, below the Sailing School in the boat storage lot. Look for the signs, wooden dock and our staff with the yellow lifejackets.
