Coddy Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Hi Andy Slipway information: Ramp Description: Concrete ramp leading to hard sand beach. The ramp is public and can get busy in the hot weather, the car park can also be very busy in high season. Trailers can be left at top of ramp in trailer parking area. Best for large boats at 1-2 hours either side of tide. Speed restrictions 8 knots 300 metres from beach marked by yellow buoys. Chichester District Council operate a Safety Patrol Service from this location, they do not offer a launching service but the staff there will assist with launching/retrieval where difficulties are being experienced, this will be carried out without charge. Directions: From Portsmouth follow A 27 to Chichester roundabout, turn right onto A286 for Witterings, follow main road till petrol garage on right, then turn left at mini-roundabout B2198 and follow the road to Bracklesham. Car park and good slipway at the end of this road. Ramp Type: Concrete onto beach. Upper Area: Concrete Lower Area: Sand Suitability: Large trailer needs a car Ramp Length: 1/4 tidal Facilities: Cafeteria, drinks, toilets, shops pubs, fuel about 300 yards. Fish and chips, camping sites, children's water toys at top of ramp. Steps leading to ramp are good viewing point of Solent and Isle of Wight on clear day. Watch for red flag as good indication of wind state, this area often wins on the clean beach guide and is very good for children of all ages. Charges: No charge for launching. Car park charges for car only, trailer free. Cruising Area: Solent. Navigational Hazards: The ramp area is nearly always crowded with small children so BE VERY CAREFUL as ramp is only 10 feet wide and used for playing by the bucket and spade brigade. I suspect you may need a 4x4 depending on weight of outfit. Boulder Bank has small Bream, LSD's, Wrasse, pollock (Fish Flood only) Medmery - Rays if you are lucky Pullar - Tope & Rays Bracklesham Bay - Bass, Bream Brake Ledge - Bream & Wrasse (Fish Ebb only) I have heard that weed is about and big big tides I suspect there will be plenty around! Look forward to your report back Coddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
