Another "newbie" question to Massachusetts owners

[Frank]

Getting closer to finding a Cape Dory - and since I'd be new to larger boat ownership (have always had trailerable sail + power boats), can anyone suggest where I might store a 27-33' Cape Dory on the north shore of MA this winter? Everywhere I call seems to be full beyond capacity... I'd also be interested in finding a better alternative to the mooring that I've found, if anyone's feeling really generous with their "insider" knowledge. Thanks a lot.

It's not on the north shore, but Marina Bay in Quincy has lots of winter storage room. It's an easy sail into Boston Harbor from the north shore. Depending on how many times you want to visit your boat over the winter, it could be a good option. Weekend traffic through Boston has rarely been a problem for me.

Try Beverly Port Marina, in Beverly MA. They may have some space left.

Try Greens Point in Ipswich MA. The guys name is Fred, he's been friendly on the phone. I'll have my Typhoon their this winter.

Last I knew there were still openings at Liberty in Danvers. You might also consider wherever the seller may have made reservations.

Moorings on the North Shore may depend on where you drive from, how you would get out to the mooring, and several other factors. I can probably answer some of your questions regarding Salem harbor.

As of yesterday Beverly Port Marina (beverlyportmarina.com) had openings. I will be there this year for the second year. After last year when they failed to winterize my boat when they were supposed to, leaving an ice-skating rink in my head, bilge and water tank, I will not be allowing them to do ANYTHING but hauling and storage. If that's all you want done (which is all I normally want from a yard), then I'd give them a call.

In Newburyport..great people to deal with..the yard is designed for "do-it-yourselfers", yet they have ful service if you need help.
water every boat and electricity every 20 ft.They have a little heated house for owners to use with full kitchen facilities and bathrooms. No porta pottis...gated facility with 24 hour access if you want to work at night.

They are inland so they don't have permanent moorings, though..can't help you out about the mooring, sorry
