Sailboat Basin at Crab Orchard Sees Mixed Response
Private operation of the Crab Orchard Lake sailboat basin draws a wait and see response from sailors. Ken and Susan Barnhardt, new managers under a five year contract with the U S Fish and Wildlife Service, expect 75 percent occupancy as the season peaks. Sail storage costs rise but remain lower than motorboat rates, and new services including 24 hour security and a concessions building are planned. Some longtime club members fear higher costs and reduced access, while most hope for a smooth transition.
