The Newport Harbormaster’s Office will be accepting applications for dinghy and kayak rack spaces at the King Park and Willow Street dinghy racks beginning Thursday, Feb. 1st until Feb. 29th, the City of Newport announced today.
Spaces will be determined through a lottery system, with a drawing held in March at the Newport Harbormaster’s Office.
This year’s applications will be accepted online only at www.CityofNewport.com/RackLottery
