This is the type of information I'm looking for and I'm sure will help others, thanks!

Yes we know things may be delayed, and once we get in our slips, then then we can keep 6 ft away, etc. But that's a different story. Still, it will be nice to know what plans are being made by each location.

Please keep posting info as it becomes available, thanks!

As of Friday, Shep Brown's was still planning to launch boats. They are not, however, registering boats. Plan ahead and do it online.

Fingers crossed that launching boats is able to continue!

I am hoping for the best, but I would not bank on a May 4 launch. Keep in mind that the President just said we're isolating until April 30. This would be the third or fourth instance of his target date being pushed out, so.... Plus, NH is likely to be later in the cycle than the more populous areas that people are focusing on today.

Shep Brown's / Goodhue has this website notice, hoping to reopen May 4 but continuing online sales and scheduling "spring deliveries."

I had an email from Fay's that they would look to hopefully open May 4th.

Irwin Marine is also closed, but I haven't seen or heard of their time frame as to when they expect to open again.

Guessing things will be delayed for a bit...

Irwin advised they were doing boat pick ups and launches but that was last week. I am not a customer of theirs but I called there Hudson NH location when looking for a registration place last week

Shep Brown's put my boat in my slip this afternoon.

Rich · 03-31-2020, 09:12 AM

Anyone have news from any of the more private yacht clubs, etc. What are they doing?

winnisquam marine is doing registrations, did mine yesterday. they have a drop box outside that you put your paperwork in, then they call you when its ready to come get your reg and stickers.

Shep's put my boat in the water. Just waiting on ice out and time.

There's a lot of Hoorah over not much here. Ice out is routinely in the third week of April and most don't get out on the lake until May sometime.
Relax, everybody. Stay home for a few more days, the same as you did in previous years. Buy gift certificates from your favorite restaurants.
