Yacht Club Interior |
At Willows Yacht Club you will find all the comforts of home; Stereo, Big Screen TV, VCR, Stove, Refrigerator, Outdoor Gas Grills and picnic tables. In the building next door to the Yacht Club the Braddock Bay Marina maintains 2 showers and 4 rest rooms all with hot water and centrally heated. There is a public beach on Lake Ontario (no life guard) on the marina and park grounds. Braddock Bay Marina has marine equipment, gas, pump out, and repair facilities available. The three main docks all contain water and 110v 15amp electricity. “C” dock also contains a limited number of 110v 30amp slips. There is a full service restaurant (Forest Hills) and a convenience store (Stu’s) within walking distance of the Yacht Club. Members of reciprocal Yacht Clubs can contact one of the Willows Yacht Club Officers by e-mail in advance if ground transportation is needed or desired. The channel into Braddock Bay is marked very well and these markers are lighted during hours of darkness. When entering Braddock Bay, stay between the markers as there are underwater pilings both east and west of the channel. Every spring, members of the Willows Yacht Club physically check and remove any debris that may have settled in the channel during the winter, and we constantly check and remove any debris throughout the boating season. The entrance to Braddock Bay has primarily a sandy bottom, with a muck bottom within the bay. The Braddock Bay Marina does it’s best to maintain the channel depth throughout the boating season. Occasional storms can tend to fill the channel with sand, so if you plan on visiting and you have a power boat larger than 32 ft or a sail boat with a fixed keel, contact one of the officers by e-mail and inquire on the current channel depth. The Willows Yacht Club does maintain reciprocal agreements with many Yacht Clubs in Lake Ontario and surrounding waters. |
