We left Al Shaheen last September hauled out at Gold River Marina in Chester Basin, Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. Her mast was taken down and she was fully shrink wrapped. The previous year we had done the same and found her bone dry and no mildew aboard in the Spring. Gold River is a rather quaint but very friendly and caring marina with excellent staff. We would recommend it for anyone over-wintering in Nova Scotia. Length/displacement limit is about 45 ft and 15 tonnes.

Anyone wanting information on Nova Scotia yards for haulout and storage, please contact me.
