Members may also request a special freight run of the Robbins. A. Many members rent lockers for this purpose. Most are 8 ft X 8 ft or larger. They hold an incredible amount of gear, tools, clothing, sails, extra beer - all the stuff you don't want to have to transport from the city every weekend. Dock boxes are also used, especially on the Wards Island side of the lagoon, where they can double as a step to get on and off your boat.
Many members stay aboard every weekend.
Others live aboard full-time for a month or so or all summer long, commuting to the city for work or other needs. Washrooms, including showers, are open 24 hours a day. There are several parking lots in the immediate vicinity of the city-side tender dock. Members often unload gear at the dock and then park the car. Others take the TTC or a taxi down to the dock.
