Summary<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p>The 2024 Main Dock (North End) Repair Project was generously supported by a Capital Grant from The Ontario Trillium Foundation.\u00a0 This support allowed for important repairs and structural repairs to this section of the 500&#8242; long Main Dock.\u00a0<\/p><p>Originally built in 1966, this dock follows the harbour shoreline. It allows Fanshawe Yacht Club members and users of the FYC facilities to access their boats on the moorings, dock their boats during regattas or sailing school events, gather for social events, and safely traverse the shoreline from the stairs from the Clubhouse to the north ramp at the other end.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Fanshawe Yacht Club gratefully thanks <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/otf.ca\/\">The Ontario Trillium Foundation<\/a><\/strong> for supporting this vital project.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.app.goo.gl\/JjirXMTB8C2H1zQR9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">*Click Here to view more Photos of this Project from Start to Finish*<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-2fdb16c\" data-id=\"2fdb16c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32a3c25 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"32a3c25\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/otf.ca\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OTF-Logo_Horiz-Colour-768x400.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-26118\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OTF-Logo_Horiz-Colour-768x400.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OTF-Logo_Horiz-Colour-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OTF-Logo_Horiz-Colour-1024x534.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OTF-Logo_Horiz-Colour-1536x800.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OTF-Logo_Horiz-Colour-2048x1067.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OTF-Logo_Horiz-Colour-e1752351077139.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0f879b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a0f879b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6>Updated November 26, 2024<\/h6><p>As of November 24, most of the repairs to the North End of the Main Dock are complete!\u00a0 \u00a0 See photos below showing the new asphalt deck, the new sheet wall on the corner.<\/p><p>More work will be done in the spring along the tree line, eg. landscaping, tree replacement, etc.\u00a0 <em>(photos by R.

contractors and engineers about the progress of the work and has included some photos below with explanations of progress so far.\u00a0 You will note the severely degraded old steel sheet wall which clearly shows that this repair project was sorely needed. You will also see that Fanshawe Lake&#8217;s level is down a lot!<\/p><p>The contractor has cleared some brush about 12&#8242; in from the edge of the main dock and covered that brush and debris with dirt, forming a pathway for the machinery to travel along the dockside on the grassy area &#8211; not on the dock surface itself.<\/p><p>They have removed the dock surface on the north corner and some dirt to expose the old sheet wall.\u00a0 In the final photo taken from on the water by Club Steward Bob M, you can see some of the new sheet wall sections being installed.<\/p><p>For more information

It has a 1.8m wide (6&#8242;) wide asphalt surface with a steel sheet pile wall down into the water. It is key to helping prevent shoreline erosion.<\/p><p>The main dock lines the woods along the protected harbour and is where sailors tow their boats to from their moorings in the harbour or dock their boats during sailing events such as regattas or fun days for visitors.\u00a0 During the sailing season, car tires and carpet remnants are hung along the wall to protect boats as they dock.\u00a0 Most importantly, it provides a level place for our members and many visitors to safely traverse the shoreline from the launch ramp at the south end to the stairs up to the Doug MacKenzie Hall clubhouse at the north end.<\/p><p>Over the years, the dock has required some repairs. The information below catalogues the current and ongoing repairs needed in order for the main dock to exist for sailors for another 50 years!\u00a0<\/p><h6>Update: February 2024<\/h6><div>A committee was struck the Fall of 2023 to further advance the dock wall project for which various preparations had been made in prior years. FYC members guiding the project are Andy T, Rick G, John K, and Peter W.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>In the Fall of 2023 FYC hired engineering consultant Spriet Associates through a competitive process\u00a0 to undertake surveys, geotechnical investigations, design, and tendering of the previously recommended wall repairs.\u00a0 The project focus is on repairing the wall at the foot of the stairs at the north end of the dock, close by the dragon boat docks, and at the south end of the wall between the launch ramp and a previously repaired section. The project addresses the priority areas for repair noted in the various reports to the membership in prior years. In addition the project investigated repairs to the launch ramp to even the grades, improve the range of ramp use for depths, provide a safer outboard edge, and provide a level area for person transfers to kayaks for AIM (Abilities in Motion).<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>Request for bids for construction were released in February 2024 and when received later in the month will\u00a0assist\u00a0FYC in making an application to the Ontario Trillium Fund (OTF) Capital Program for a financial grant\u00a0 to undertake the project. It is hoped bids are favourable for all the work to be done under the grant if approved beginning as early as October 2024. If the grant is limited, work will focus on priorities and the most feasible aspects of the overall project that could be undertaken.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><p>Click the links below to learn more about this project or members can contact Rick G for more info on his committee&#8217;s findings and recommendations.<\/p><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1-docks-shoreline-001-facilities-review-2017-11-20-v1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1\u00a0 Facilities Review 2017-11-20<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2-docks-shoreline-002-facilities-survey-general-observations-2018-01-30-v1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2\u00a0 Facilities Survey &amp; General Observations 2018-01-30<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-docks-shoreline-003-facilities-survey-q10-detailed-responses-2018-01-30-v1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3\u00a0 Facilities Survey-q10-Detailed Responses 2018-01-30<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/4-docks-shoreline-004-facilities-review-alternatives-evaluation-2018-02-27-v1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4\u00a0 Facilities Review, Alternatives &amp; Evaluation 2018-02-27<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/5-docks-shoreline-005-summary-preferred-alternatives-2019-04-19-v1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5\u00a0 Summary Preferred Alternatives 2019-04-19<\/a><\/li><\/ul><div>\u00a0<\/div><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4301 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/main-dock-low-water-lake-view-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/main-dock-low-water-lake-view-1.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/main-dock-low-water-lake-view-1-300x123.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/main-dock-low-water-lake-view-1-1024x419.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/main-dock-low-water-lake-view-1-768x314.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fyc.on.ca\/wp-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/main-dock-low-water-lake-view-1-600x245.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On This Page Below: Main Dock Project &#8211; OTF Grant Recognition Media Release July 2025 Tree Planting on Main Dock Main Dock Repair Updates Main Dock Project &#8211; We got a Grant!
