YC has one of the few proper boatyards on this part of the coast and is reached up the River Adur and Shoreham Port Eastern arm with good access over high water. Although income from our yard helps support our sailing and other activities at SYC, you’ll find our rates are competitive, especially for members who enjoy special discounts. There is a large private slipway used to launch and recover yachts and dinghies with recovery assisted by a large powered capstan winch. The main slipway also has
sturdy scrubbing posts which are free to use for members. Importantly SYC has invested in a modern and efficient WISE 25 tonne boat hoist complete with a crane to handle engine and mast lifts. This hoist looks after most of the boat movements. The separate western slip has a tracked cradle that can handle craft up to 37 tonnes for both economical short and long stays. If you have a craft even larger than 37 tonnes, we have a craneage area where a suitable lift can be brought in please talk to us about your requirements.
