Slipways

[pirky]

At the meeting on Thurs 04th there was mention of a list of Slipways (all over England if I remember correctly) both public and accessible private (Marinas etc I thought)..........it was said that this info is available on line.....can anyone furnish me with the web address please? I have googled but it only gives individual info

I only want the local ones really....Poole, Bournemouth beach, Southbourne, Christchurch, and Mudeford down to Lymington but even small ones ( I have a mate with a 12 ft flat bottom dinghy and we intend to fish inshore so we can slip in almost any where really but proper slip acces is required for the car and trailer.

Thanks IA

Thanks Martin.....this one is pretty limited and only gives the more obvious ones.....there are loads more small ones around even onto the beach with small beach widths to launch over !! Is there a more comprehensive one around or am I dreaming?

wishful thinker ?

Mudeford

Lymington

Keyhaven

Baiter

Rockley

Weymouth Town Quay

Portland Castletown

West Bay

 

Pretty much covers it really. In club waters and keeping local you only really have Baiter Park in Poole, Wick and Mudeford in Christchurch.

There's Lake Road, Hamworthy.

Width and Height restriction.

Been a few years since I last used it but it's free.

I saw a bloke there years back, had spun his wheels and dug his self in.

Best to use a 4 x 4

Forgot to mention the one at Redcyffe Farm,Wareham,very good but a long trek if you want to get out of Poole Harbour.

 

It was

Ah ! Redcliffe Farm,

Spent Many years holidaying there. ( Before I was too old to travel )

It is a long journey down river and through the harbour. But very picturesque.

Keeping to the speed limit, it's 25 mins to the harbour (1.7nm) and about 45 mins to the Entrance (7nm).

One advantage is you finish your trip in fresh water, so everything get a good flush through.

And very handy for flounder fishing towards the end of the year.

If the 12ft dinghy isn't too heavy you should be able to launch at Lake Road, Hamworthy by hand.

3 of us used to launch a Gemini inflatable, with 20hp motor there a few years ago by hand, it was a case of getting the balance right so there was no weight on the jockey wheel.

Winter only , east dorset sailing club evening hill sandbanks,free parking and rubble slip not on LW long walk to the water,you could try opposite the sanbanks hotel banks road , ,sandbanks the safty boat for the wind surfers launches here i am not sure if this is classed as a slip or a ramp check on LW for safty ,on road parking pay and display get here early in the summer .

[Coddy]

There is always the slip at Slipway, which is next to the RNLI college. I did put some picture on the forum a few months ago but parking is a no no as yellow lines, could always park at Asda.
