The Chesapeake Yacht Club has announced the completion of its new floating dock. This state-of-the-art facility provides 38 deep water slips for yachts up to 70 feet long and can accommodate a wide range of powerboats, sailboats, and catamarans.
In announcing the opening, Commodore Ed Shelby said: “We have invested millions of dollars and spent years planning and designing these new slips to provide our members with the finest docking facilities available. Over 60 tons of steel piles, 100 tons of floating dock, and 11 tons of electrical cable were used to construct this new dock. It is designed to withstand wind loads up to 100 miles per hour and storm surges over 6 feet.”
Commodore Shelby went on: “CYC continues to invest in our community and we are proud to provide jobs during this unprecedented time due to the coronavirus. We thank all our members, engineers, suppliers, construction firms, and others who have made this project a success.”
Chesapeake Yacht Club is located on the West River. The Club is less than 30 minutes from the Beltway and centrally located on the Bay, with both floating and fixed dock slips available. CYC is a full-service marina with on-site diesel, gas and free pump-out services. Members enjoy a casual environment featuring social activities, organized cruising, regattas and the camaraderie of fellow members set in a beautiful location. Facilities include a river view swimming pool, beautiful grounds, and a restaurant with casual and fine dining.
