[Rhodes22-list] NYC Marinas

Sat, 31 Aug 2002 14:19:22 -0400

Bill, Richard,

The last time I checked, the 23rd St. marina wanted just $2.00 a foot.  They
didn't indicate a minimum.  They did say they would consider it "found
money," and they seemed happy to get it.  They said there would always be
space for a boat our size.

Richard's point about difficult sailing is well taken.  Not to mention the
problems that might be encountered trying to pull up to a slip in those
conditions.

I hadn't really been focusing on this issue, but now that you have me going
on it, I found this web site with information about marinas in our area:

If you go to the home page you can see how to order.  I've ordered a copy,
I'll let you know,

Bill -

Read your post about NYC marinas.

The marina at 23rd St. is very pricey nd I think may even have a 35'
minimum charge.  Similar situation downtown (if it's back open yet).

I've stayed across the river at Newport Cove in Jersey City which is
easily accessible by PATH.  Liberty Landing is just south (if I remember
right) of Newport and has a shuttle Ferry that goes somewhere downtown.

The great deal is the public dock in Manhattan by Chambers Street.  I
think its Pier 16.  I know it's very cheap., but don't know if there are
moorings for transients.

I drive past the mooring field connected to 79th St. Boat basin a lot on
the HH Parkway, and I always see a lot of open moorings there.

Richard,

My real interest is in NYC Marinas.  We are just about to pick up a
place in
Brooklyn Heights.  We will keep our place in Greenwich.  Looking ahead,
I
would like to be able to bring the boat down to NYC sometimes.  I have
cars
in both locations, so I don't have to keep the boat near the house
unless it
works out.

It looks like your marina is 3 hours by sea and 15 minutes by car from
where
I will be in Brooklyn.  The 23rd Street Manhattan Marina is probably 15
minutes by either car or boat.  I know there were plans to develop the
waterfront in Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo, and Greenpoint.  Has there been
any
progress there?

Any thoughts you might have about where to keep the boat on a transient
basis, and where to sail would be welcome.  No rush, though.  I won't be
sailing down there until next year.

It's the Gateway Marina on Flatbush Avenue near the Marine Park Bridge.
It's directly accross from Floyd Bennett field.   The boat in question
is on
a trailer near the chain link which fronts Flatbush Avenue.  There is a
"For
Sale" sign with no other info listed (last time I looked)
