Boat Hoists
Sail Newport has two self-serve boat hoists for the public to use at their own risk. These are single, center-point lifts that require either a lifting ring with strap that is terminated on the keel (such as on a J/24, J/22, Melges 24, Viper, Shields or Etchells) or a bridle system that comes to a single point (such as on a Lightning, Thistle or Snipe). Boat owners must provide their own lifting strap and have adequate help to use the hoists safely.
Hoist Use Membership Requirement:
- To use the hoists, it is not required that you be a member. However, for a minimal cost of membership you will enjoy deep discounts on hoist use and other premium membership benefits. Also, your membership will support our nonprofit Sailing Center for the benefit of the community.
- If you plan to use the hoist, and store your boat at Sail Newport in the summer, you will be required to be a member.
