Moorings and Trot Boat

MYC has over 200 sheltered moorings for boats from 18 to 42 feet located on the tidal River Medway.

Moorings include:

  • Swinging moorings – all states of tide
  • Fore and aft moorings

MYC moorings are served by a trot boat that runs regularly early morning and late afternoon on weekdays, and all day at weekends during the season. For special events like regattas or racing, and at other times, the trot boat runs by arrangement.

MYC trot boat listens on VHF channel 37 M1 call sign “Invicta” (or MYC trot boat). Visitors should call for berthing instructions.

 

Boat Handling

Your boat up to 10 tonnes can be launched and recovered using our Wise travel hoist.

The mid seasons scrub to get rid of unwanted fouling is quick and easy using our scrubbing trolley and pressure washer.

Our all tide pontoon has running water to keep your tanks full.

Car and Boat Park

Covered by a comprehensive CCTV system the car park is a place to leave your car in the summer while you are away cruising or your boat to be laid up ashore in the winter.

To lay up you will need a cradle to support a fin keeled yacht. If you don’t have one of your own some are available to hire from the Cruiser Class.

Changing Rooms

After a long day’s sailing a refreshing shower is available in the changing rooms for both ladies and gents, including disabled facilities and areas that can be separated for girls and boys or families.

Cranes

We have three fixed cranes on site, all of which can be operated by members with brief training.

A 2 tonne rated crane can be used to lift smaller boats from the scrubbing trolley on to their trailer.

There are two mast cranes, one in front of the clubhouse that is used by smaller trailer sailors, and one in the car park used by cruisers.
