Slipping, Storage & Other Facilities

The CYCSA has outstanding facilities for those looking to perform maintenance on their boats or wishing to store their craft out of water in hardstand berths.

Facilities include a magnificent horizontal-lift slipway, large radial crane, a launch and retrieval ramp for the exclusive use of boats stored in our hardstand berth facility and access to a workshop and maintenance shed.

SLIPPING & CRANE WHARF

The Club is rightly proud of its slipping facilities. It has its own horizontal-lift slipway which can handle craft up to 20 metres and 25 tonnes. Adjacent to the slipway is the crane wharf with a fixed arm 1.6-tonne radial crane. The crane is for the use of members, staff and others that have been authorised to use this facility. In and around the slipway are substantial work bench and maintenance facilities. Club members receive discounted slipping rates* (conditions apply).

Launch Ramps

The dual lane launch and retrieval ramp within the Club premises ensures minimal waiting periods to launch and is for the exclusive use of members with boats stored in the hardstanding area. The Club also owns and operates the North Haven Public Boat Ramp. Fees paid ensure its maintenance for community use and provide increased financial support for the Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia.

Tractors

For moving larger boats, the Club has a tractor available for use by members only. All members wishing to use the tractor are to be formally inducted in its proper use by a CYCSA staff member.

Fuel

Fuel is available seven days a week at the northern end of North Haven Harbour.

Cycsa Hardstands

Hardstand boat storage at the CYCSA provides a safe, secure alternative to storing a boat at home. Available to Senior members of the CYCSA in sizes ranging from 9m to 12m, the hardstands are available for purchase or on a short to long-term lease.

Other Facilities

An outboard motor testing tank is provided on the eastern side of the cradle area. A sail drying facility is available on the eastern lawn adjacent to the barbecue area and sail storage facilities can be hired on an annual basis. There are also trolleys available for members’ use for transporting items to and from their boats and there are also a limited number of private storage lockers available for a fee.
