LAUNCHING & CAR PARKING INFO
This letter is to explain your launching, docking, trailer storage and car parking at Alamitos Bay Yacht Club. The ABYC phone number is (562) 434-9955
The yacht club has two hoists - a 2 1/2 Ton and a 1 Ton Hoist. If you need a hoist that can lift more weight, please contact the Marina Shipyard for service (562) 594-0995.
Special notes:
Melges 24's - Both hoists at ABYC are rated for Melges 24 launching and hauling out - go to the hoist that is least crowded!
LOGISTICS:
Bring your boat to Alamitos Bay Yacht Club, 7201 E. Ocean Blvd., LB.
ABYC's phone number is (562) 434-9955.
I. TRAILER PARKING
Once your boat is off it's trailer, please park your trailer in the lot across the street from ABYC.
If you arrive before 5:00pm on Thursday, or any time on Friday or Saturday, get a parking pass from the office and tape it onto the front of your trailer for the weekend (BE SURE TO WRITE ALL OF THE DAYS YOU NEED TRAILER PARKING ON THE FORM).
If you arrive after 5:00pm on a particular day, you will need to pay the city $4 parking charge (at the corner of the parking lot) for that night. The next day during normal office hours, please get a trailer parking pass from the office and tape it onto the front of your trailer (BE SURE TO WRITE ALL OF THE DAYS YOU NEED TRAILER PARKING ON THE FORM).
II. CAR PARKING
Please remember that car parking inside the ABYC grounds is for members only EXCEPT TO LOAD AND UNLOAD YOUR BOAT. After you are through unloading, please park outside the yard. Do NOT drive your car on the driveway to the hoists!
Parking in the lots will be free if you pick up a "parking slip" from either the ABYC office or the gate person. THERE ARE THREE IMPORTANT PARKING ITEMS TO AVOID GETTING A TICKET: 1) get a new parking pass each day, 2) be sure to write your car license number, in ink, on it each day, 3) do not park in any "red designated parking spaces".
III. Washing off your boat's bottom - Please have everything ready to wash off the bottom of your boat before you get to the hoist. If there are people waiting to get into the water while you are on the hoist, please limit your time washing your boat's bottom to no more than 5 minutes.
IV. DOCKING -
For boats having lanuchde at ABYC, docking is either in the ABYC basin, or if you prefer to be closer to the race headquarters, you may dock your boat in the marina docking area near LBYC & the Seaport Marina Hotel. (see
"Docking").
V. HAULOUT - Sunday afternoon
Melges 24's can use either hoist. There will be someone there to help coordinate the haulouts and to help you get your trailer to the hoist. Once your boat is out of the water, take it to the wash down area and then please unrig your boat on the street or in the lot across from ABYC.
When you return for Sunday's post race festivities at the Seaport Marina Hotel, please park your vehicle & trailer in the marina parking lot across the street from the hotel.
