Boat Hoists

Sail Newport has 2 "self serve" boat hoists for the public to use.  These are "single point" lifts that require either a lifting ring/strap that is terminated on the keel (J/24, J/22, Melges 24, Viper, Shields, Etchells) or a bridle system that comes to a single point (Lightning, Thistle, Snipe).  A User Agreement must be signed in the Dock Office prior to use.  Boat owners must provide their own lifting strop.  Boat owners may join SN at the Family level, and as a member benefit have one round trip use of the hoist per season.  Boat owners may also become members and contract for seasonal storage with unlimited use of the hoists.
