At the time that it was installed, it was attached to the end of Dock #17 which is where the longer Dock #18 is now attached. Prior to the present configuration, Dock #18 was positioned in the spot where Dock #19 is presently positioned. The reason for the change in the positions of Dock #18 and Dock #19 was in effort to provide the most space for dinghys on the land side of the dinghy dock area. Obviously, if Dock #18 was in place where Dock #19 is now located it would extend further towards land than Dock #19 does now. We have had the problem of the dinghys grounding for a fairly long time and it appears the problem has gotten worse in spite of our efforts as the configuration of the river bottom surrounding the dinghy area has changed as more material (rocks and sand) has decreased the average depthof the dinghy area at low and high tide. From my point of view, removing Dock #19 will not appreciable help the situation. If it is decided to remove Dock #19, we will have to (1) store Dock #19 in our parking area or (2) sell Dock #19. Storing Dock #19 will result in losing a parking space in the parking lot and selling Dock #19 will most likely result in a financial loss. Whatever option we choose will not appreciable solve the dinghy grounding problem. Regards, Art P.S.

The unfortunate and unforeseen problem is the extension dock, #18, attached past the piling now puts any dinghy attached to #18 on the rocks at low tide and it blocks any dinghy tied up closer the pier from getting out. I've attached some pictures from a "normal" low tide. You can see that the dinghies attached to the #16 & #17 are floating at low tide, but the ones attached to #18 are high and dry. Note the "Hover Craft" photo. We could sell #18 & #19 to a PYC member or Craigslist it. Or move #18 to the end of #26 and have 2 spots for the launches, but it might make getting out of the face dock slips a bit tight, but it might be OK. And I think we would still need to move some rocks but maybe a lot less of them so they can get around the piling. Not sure what the answer(s) is.
