IMPROVEMENTS UPDATE

This Week’s Improvements

Painting, Lighting and Road Repairs

We’ve completed painting all pipe fencing and gangways throughout the marina, AND our lighting project is almost complete! We are finishing up shoreline lighting and will move on to parking lot lighting this week.

We are also moving forward with road repairs, and expect repair work between O Dock and Y Dock to be complete by Monday, March 7.

Island Bar & Grill

If you’ve been to the marina recently, you can see the progress we’re making at The Island! We completed the redesign of the bar and serving stations, and we are now making progress on installing the cabling/wiring for electrical, data and A/V. Flooring is also being laid this week.

As always, if you have any questions about this progress, please don’t hesitate to call Christie or Jim – we’re here for you!

UPCOMING EVENTS

Dockline Series – Materials

“Materials” is the second set of tips in our Dockline Series from the Highport Services Department.

Nylon:
Nylon is a strong, durable synthetic and is very well suited for docklines, commonly seen it in either Laid or Braid Construction.

Laid Line:
Laid line is composed of three or more twisted strands, a design that has withstood the test of time. Although it can kink, making it awkward to coil and stretch more than braid, three-strand twisted line is very strong, resistant to abrasion and snagging, and offers good value. But some stranded nylon is quite soft and isn’t very suitable for use aboard. This is frequently sold in hardware stores, is relatively very inexpensive, and is usually not marked for marine use.

Braided Line:
Braided line is composed of many small strands, making it extremely strong and flexible. It runs smoothly, will not kink or rotate, and is easier on the hands. These small strands wear evenly, making braided line more resistant to chafe from pilings and cleats–the greatest threat to healthy docklines. However, braided line is more likely than laid line to catch on piling splinters or other snags and thereby become damaged to some degree.

Stay tuned for future tips and don’t hesitate to call or email us to get your boat ready for boating season:
