Looking for a marina in Rhode Island (Narragansett would be preferred)
to put my Freedom 38. Would love a place that

  1. allows me to do work.
  2. Is reasonably priced
  3. Has some experience in pulling an unstayed mast.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Ed Reiss

I have a similar request to the
group. I am thinking of taking my F35 to FL in the fall of 2009 and am
looking to winter over in a marina. Anyone have any suggestions as
to what would be a good marina and what I could expect for cost? I am
thinking of living aboard for 8 weeks or so and may also go over to the Bahamas’
for a bit.

I have heard much about the limited number
of transit slips and local zoning forbidding live aboards.

Thanks for your inputs

Wherer in Florida?

It’s a real big state, with at least three coastlines.

Marina availability and prices vary widely.

My boat is on the Central Gulf Coast in Tampa Bay. I live about 20 miles further
north, about 5 miles esat of the Gulf of Mexico.

Lots of areas and different sailing regimes to explore in this state.

Oops, I was thinking of the Keys. I
wanted to get far enough south on the eastern seaboard to avoid the cold fronts
pushing south. I spent one winter in St Augustine, nice place but chilly, although
lots better than Philadelphia. Marathon Key was one idea we had.

Hi Ed,
Do you mean a marina or a boatyard? Try RI Moorings
(www.rimoorings.com) They have both and are located in North Kingstown
(formerly Quonset Point NAS). You could also try Clarks in Jamestown
(www.clarkboatyard.com) where I haul my Freedom 32’. They are also a
DIY boatyard. Good luck. Peter Bennett

Marathon is a great place to spend the winter on a mooring. It is an awesome cruising community.

You’re right, Peter. I actually meant a yard.

Thank you for the suggestions.

Fred:

How much does your F-35 draw?

I gotta tell you that the main controlling factor governing where you can go in
the Keys is the draft of your boat.

Brewers on the Sakonnet is pretty good and they pulled our
mast. However as far as I am concerned all yards need to be supervised by the
owner!
