Where on Cobbs Quay

[great white]

4.3 m

Is that going to make it bridge lifts only? I am sure that will rapidly become a pain.

 

Nice looking boat Martin, have you looked at the Port of Poole and Poole Quay options?

[Brian]

I assume parking is a problem at Poole Quay Boat Haven.

[Maverick Martin]

Got a quote from Port of Poole apparently they think it's gold plated 

[Ark]

Ok Martin

When I came thru the bridges yesterday an hour before low old bridge 3.5 new was 4 mtrs

Based on all the above criteria/factors I can think of a marina that ticks most boxes, would mean a bit of a drive Down the coast though.

Easy Martin, buy a house in sandbank and they have their own mooring/pontoon.

I just wish we had a similar facility in Poole I would be there like a shot however, an hours drive there and back is just a bridge to far

I thought Mal was having Mudeford entrance modified for your arrival

Lol @ Nige last place on the planet I would take my new baby

Adam definitely not cheaper in fact around 1400 dearer than Cobbs for a pontoon berth

That's interesting. I wonder if Cobbs can dry berth mine at 28'? If they could it would be worth a quote... I'll be in the market for a berth again in a few weeks.... Don't every fancy being back in the water though, dry is the way forward I feel, esp. With an Outdrive.

I'd love to be based out of Portland, even for a try for a season or two.... But it makes a long journey even longer for boat partner Ian. It's a cracking Marina, with great access to some awesome fishing. Do they dry stack Matt?

Adam they can and that was what I really wanted however a boat that size cannot go in the racks so has to be floor based for which they told me they're full.  I was offered a marina berth then put on the dry stack when/if a place becomes available.  The thing I have been fretting about mostly is having twin shafts how they would manage to dry berth without causing damage.  Not a lot of space left for forks and bunks.  

 

 I have decided to try the Marina berth, if it doesn't work for me reconsider options next year.

[Matt]

Yes they do dry stack at portland, its what we are on

[gjb]

Maybe it would be worth thinking about copper bottom antifoul before she is put on the mooring supposed to be the DBs 

[Coddy]

I am sure if we as a club approached Quay Haven during the winter months we could get a good deal for an overnight stop for an early start or late arrival.

 

Then it is just a matter of dropping the boat off and come back to collect it when it suits, don't have to worry about bridges when you are in a hurry to get out.

 

Just got to get a lift down to the quay and away you go.
