Just completed and installed by CamJes Enterprises, the new 12,000 lb lift is uniquely designed to take sailboats out of the murky waters of Hoskins Creek and prevent the keel becoming home to thousands of barnacles, weed and other slimy half-life. The cradle of the lift drops three or more feet below water level, the sailboat is brought in between the bunks and a "V" shaped guideway brings the foward end of the keel to a rest at the optimum point, then the lift can be raised with the vessel perfectly stabilized and balanced.
"Tardis of Tappahannock", our 24 ft Kittiwake, is currently under refit and care of Garrett's Marina [www.garrettsmarina.com] and will sail upriver back to RivaHaven Yacht Club in October.
