Charleston Race Week -- Slip Reservations

Jonathan Nye · February 22, 2012, 08:41:06 PM

Have started to look into reserving slips for the fleet and need to know who's interested. The cost for a bay is $271/day and each bay accommodates seven boats (more if strung across the bay). Assuming seven boats and four days, this works out to $155/boat. Who's in? For those who've not done Charleston, the alternative is free docking toward the north-most point of the marina and a good healthy walk back and forth.

Have tried to get slips that open to the north which would result in less drama since we'd be leaving/returning against the tide. So far, Charleston Harbor wants to keep us where we've been.

Jonathan - we're in with 18.

I guess I'm in, but I was hoping I'd be eligible for the free docking by being one of the first 35 boats registered. Haven't heard anything about that though from the race organizers as per the NOR.

15.4 There will be a limited amount of complimentary transient dockage available at CHR&M for boats under 28 feet LOA from Thursday, April19 through Sunday April 22. This dockage will be in a side tie configuration with other boats rafted along side at 2-3 deep and may be at the docks farthest from the hotel. Those qualifying for the limited complimentary dock space will be notified of the offer, and asked to confirm their intent to accept or reject it. Those registering beyond the first 35 boats under 28 feet LOA and boats requiring individual berths should make separate arrangements with the marina for dock space. No individual slips will be permitted with the limited complimentary dockage.

Jonathon, we're in with 101.

It's our first trip there, so we're pretty clueless.

Thanks for organizing this.

Peter - the free dock space is a really long walk out to the boat and may require rafting. Join us in the slips that Jonathan is organizing...

Craig Wilusz · February 23, 2012, 10:25:41 AM

#100 ... Ice Melted ... Wilusz is in. Keep us informed with how to proceed with payment.

Actually I'll organize the first bay and help with others but once this one fills up, I'd like someone to step forward and take over organizing the next batch of seven.

Jonathan, count us in with 117 - Rum Theory.

Closer to the rum always works best.

Thanks for organizing and let us know how to proceed with payment.

I'll take a slot for the works boat, #150.

Joe Healey · February 23, 2012, 05:08:13 PM

I'll take a spot also.

We're being offered bays on A dock (south on B). The advantage is we return into the tide and prevailing breeze; downside is if it gets really windy out of the south, the dock gets wet from spray.

Jonathan Nye · February 23, 2012, 05:27:05 PM

Bay 1 now has Nye, Nickerson, Daniel, Wilusz, Shute, Tucker and Healy. Peter Beardsley is organizing Bay 2 which is about to fill. Anyone willing to take over organizing additional reservations?

Arthur Shaw · February 24, 2012, 10:44:40 AM

Jonathan,

We are in boat 128. Thanks for doing this. Art Shaw

Jonathan Nye · February 24, 2012, 11:24:35 AM

Bay 1 now has Nye, Nickerson, Daniel, Wilusz, Shute, Tucker and Healy.

Bay 2 has Beardsley, Weiss and five to-be-named Larchmont boats.

Bay 3 has Oliver, Shaw, Lee, Furna and McHugh.

Peter Beardsley · February 24, 2012, 02:08:00 PM

5 of the 7 Larchmont slots are accounted for. There is a chance that one of them will open up, in which case I'll let people know.

In the meantime, if anyone needs crew, I know of A LOT of people who are available to crew, some of whom are extremely good and who have Viper experience. Send me a message for details.
