Alameda Marina is an option. But you should just join Encinal Yacht
Club and keep Aquila next to Bonito!
Putting the mast up and taking it down takes time and several bodies.
Not a big deal to do once every year or couple of years but, not
something you would want to do regularly. If you are considering
trailer launching your boat, raising and lowering the mast each time, I
would advise against that.
Dry sailing a boat is faster, all other things being equal. Though
some, like Frank and Cathy are an excellent example that all things are
not. It is less expensive both in terms of cost per month in fees and
annually in total including keeping the bottom clean and painted.

Subject: [Santana 22] Dry Storage
Hello all,
I am considering putting Aquila on a trailer and dry sailing her. I
have a few questions about this:
1)where can you store a boat that has a crane? My Y.C.s have extremely
long waiting lists. I would prefer to be in Sausalito but I'm willing
to go to the East Bay or possibly the city as well.
2)if you store somewhere without a crane, how hard is it to put up the
mast and take it down?
3)If you store somewhere without a hoist, where do you put your boat in
the water? Is it possible to use a launching ramp?
4)is a significant advantage gained by dry sailing a boat? I figure it
would be cheaper than berth fees and would eliminate the costly act of
pulling the boat every year/painting it/possibly having to refair the
keel.
I welcome all thoughts, and thank you in advance Derek
