Dry boat storage involves storing power boats within a specially designed building, usually located on land adjacent to the water's edge.
Boats are housed in steel racks for the 98% of the time they are not in use and a forklift truck is typically used to launch and retrieve boats from the dry store to and from the water.
Dry boat storage is an efficient method of storing boats and frees up the waterways for public use versus various water based methods of boat storage. For example if Rozelle Bay was filled with swing moorings it could only store approximately 150 boats. By comparison Sydney Boathouse will store some 670 boats.
Dry boat storage has occurred in the USA since the 1950’s and elsewhere overseas where there are now hundreds of facilities of this nature.
