Pontoon during repairs

A floating pontoon will be installed at the Vauxhall Yacht Club over the next few months during boat ramp repairs.

The existing northern concrete ramp (left) is in poor condition and was been fenced off yesterday to allow remedial construction work to take place at a cost of $170,000.

The floating pontoon (right, pictured installed at the Otago Yacht Club), will be installed at Vauxhall by the end of January.

Boats can still be launched at the yacht club’s second ramp, and also at the Andersons Bay Sea Scout boat shed.
