WEST FALMOUTH BOAT RAMP CLOSING FOR CONSTRUCTION
The West Falmouth Boat Ramp, next to the Town Landing, will be closed during the long-anticipated re-construction starting on Wednesday, September 20th, 2023 according to an email from the Harbor Master. Todd Taylor spoke to the contractor and learned that construction will last for at least three weeks. That would put the early finish date at about October 13, 2023, weather and circumstances permitting. During construction the ramp will not be available for any reason.
SHRINK WRAP RECYCLING
Boat shrink wrap is typically a single-use material, and prior to this regional recycling program, it was typically disposed of in the trash. In 2023, Falmouth is participating in the program as a collection depot accepting clean, rolled shrink wrap at the Falmouth Waste Management Facility between April 1st and June 30th at no charge.

COMPLIMENTARY DINGHIES FOR MEMBERS
Three dinghies are provided by the club for use of club members. Please return them once you have accessed your boat rather than leaving them on your mooring. Thank you!
|
West Falmouth Public Dock: Club members docking at the West Falmouth public dock. The WFBC coordinates with the town on matters such as maintaining water availability at the dock for wash downs and certain dock maintenance matters. All in an effort to provide our members, and the public, with the best possible facilities.
|
Barnes Rock marker: The club has provided a much more visible marker for the safety and convenience of its members and the public. It is a known fact that fishing in this area often produces excellent results. Please release fish as often as you can to help their proliferation, and for your fellow fishermen. A picture is often much better to take home than a dead fish.
