Dock Replacement/Closing News

CBI Members:

The long awaited dock replacement project is finally here.  You will start seeing the contractor moving equipment and supplies on site the first week of September. Starting on September 7, construction work on the doorways through the front office and the ramp leading into Main Bay will begin.  For a few weeks we’ll move office operations into the Main Bay.  Our bathrooms will be offline as will the main stairway to the second floor from the front office.  We’ll be setting up portable toilets on the dock.  We are still sorting out how to create a place to change in and out of sailing clothes.  We’ll move back into the front office to finish the season on September 24.
