We are pleased to announce that we are in the final phase of our expansion into Y4 (Yard Section 4) and that today we have chocked our first boat in that section. Y4 is expected to accommodate up to 80 boats, which will bring our total yard capacity to approximately 250.
As many of our clients are aware, we have been planning the expansion into Y4 for some time. In May we reached our maximum reserved capacity for the existing sections of the yard and we had to decide between closing reservations for 2008 or pushing forward with completing Y4. Jason took the difficult decision and committed to the expansion, even without firm funding in place, and the hard work got underway in earnest. Almost every department, from the metal shop to the electrical department, and most importantly the Yard Crew, has worked tirelessly to bring the project to fruition.
Below are some pictures chronicling the progress of the project.
