the dock at RNSYS- floating docks. It is a well equipped sailing facility with many slips and buildings to support their sailing activities. Every year boats have their masts removed so the ice does not do damage so they have a huge shed with racks and racks of masts. There are cranes that the members use to re-instate their masts for the season. Not a burgee in their club house though.  There is an extensive staff ( four waitresses, bar tender, dock master, shed workers). It is a vibrant place for sailing activities. When we first arrived we were sailing past a class of lasers with students in their wet suits, lining up like ducklings herded around by a bright orange inflatable.  A high performance Cat took groups out for day sails or overnights. A handicapped group met on Sundays and ended their sail with a BBQ. We were invited to a New Members / Dock party on Friday night. We were encouraged to socialize with members. Their dining room serves a full menu daily with a complete bar.
