Mark Posted April 1, 2021 Report Posted April 1, 2021 Hi everyone, just joined and paid up for the 2021 year. My name is Mark and have a Warrior 175 (Skipper) that I launch from Rockley. Been there for the last 2 years since owning the boat...my first one! Really looking forward to meeting up with like minded boaty people and particularly looking forward to a few more trips out than last year! I'm not a local lad...live up in Wiltshire so a bit of drive (55 miles)...but get down as often as work allows! stay safe everyone and I'll see you out on the water! Mark.

plaicemat Posted April 1, 2021 Report Posted April 1, 2021 55 miles away, practically a local, I'm in Oxfordshire but have been a fairly active member since 2004 so, get involved, meet the crew and enjoy the best club on the south coast. See you out on the water. Terry. Ragdoll 1 Quote
Maverick Martin Posted April 2, 2021 Report Posted April 2, 2021 Welcome Mark, so you finally took the plunge and joined proper. Enjoy your membership and take part in as many comps or socials as you feel able. Martin Quote
Gazza Posted April 2, 2021 Report Posted April 2, 2021 Hi Mark, I don't know if you remember but I use to have a 175 down Rockley and use to chat to you sometimes ? I got fed up with Rockley in the summer , sometimes 3 boats wide on the pontoon then all the tackle to unload so went up a level in boat size and now at cobbs on a pontoon, so far i'm loving it. hope you are well and will see you out there one day Gary Jim 1 Quote
Mark Posted April 2, 2021 Author Report Posted April 2, 2021 Thank you all for the warm welcome. Been down to the boat today to her ready for a Sunday trip out...first one in 4 months. Hope to see you out there at some point. 12 hours ago, Gazza said: Hi Mark, I don't know if you remember but I use to have a 175 down Rockley and use to chat to you sometimes ?

Gummage Posted April 2, 2021 Report Posted April 2, 2021 Hi Mark, we are practically neighbours! I tow a Dory down fromMarlborough and generally launch at Baiter. Joining the club was the best thing I did. Folks have certainly been sociable and generous with their time, advice etc hope to catch up you and Skipper anon Gummage Quote
Jim Posted April 2, 2021 Report Posted April 2, 2021 I may be missing something but........... You said . . . . . . . . " busy in the summer down there but I get mine out every time as insurance doesn't cover the boat left on the water without me on it. " Sometimes they all go home and if you're not back in time your boat stays tied up to the pontoon. If I'm wrong then just ignore me but please check every possibility and make sure you're covered. Always worth more £'s on the premium to be sure you're protected. Just my own thoughts. Jim Quote
Gazza Posted April 3, 2021 Report Posted April 3, 2021 Hi Jim, Im not sure about Marks insurance but I know he keeps his boat on his own trailer and uses the tractor to launch not the forklift, Mark, I too am out on our 1st trip Sunday......looking like a early start early finish with the wind 🌬️ Jim 1 Quote

Jim Hi Jim, I tend to get back in time for the tractor to get me out a, I'm on a trailer...unless I stay out on an all nighter...which isn't too comfortable on a 175! Not had any issues with getting her out yet. Would be a pain if I did miss them though...so something to think about. Jim 1 Quote

Have a launch booked for 9 so even if we get a few hours it'll be worth the trip...busting to get out! Gazza 1 Quote
