New Mexico Sailing Club Boat Census by Size

As of this spring/last winter, about 178 boats were owned by sailing club members/recently active members. Some were kept at home, in mast-up storage, or on the ocean. The marina has about 90 slips at present or 102 if fully restored, plus from four to forty mooring buoys if the lake is high enough. This year, with the very late start to the season, we only had about 40 boats in the marina, though in years past the club had a waiting list of people wanting slips.

No. of boats owned by club members as of last winter by size:
8 30-foot-plus:
3 28 to 29 foot
14 27 foot
25 26 foot
34 25 foot
16 24 foot
18 23 foot
29 22 foot
11 21 foot
2 20 foot
19 under 20 foot

(This is probably an understatement for the smallest boats since lots of folks don't bother to list their "number two" boats, dinghies, day sailors, kayaks, water-toy-like thingies, etc. Some of the larger boats that don't live at Heron may also have been omitted, such as is known to be the case for the Strasia's 32-foot Ranger and the Meltz's Freedom 32 and likely others.)

The mean and median are both at about 24 foot.

Of the largest boats, in the near future we might need to accommodate about 3 of the 28- to 30-footers, and 7 of the 27-footers.
