6th is the early may bank holiday Monday

Adam

And a happy new year to you.

You won't need to twist many arms I purposely didn't start a thread on this trip as I know historically you have sorted out dates etc.

As far as I can see AWOL will be up for making it over this year. We didn't make last year but that was down to weather and alternative dates not being suitable for us. We will probably stay on the boat this year or maybe book accommodation last thing.

Looking forward to it and fingers crossed for good weather

Snipped from Gatwich airport terms

(i)

damage to your vehicle (whether caused accidentally or by way of vandalism);

(ii)

theft of, or from, your vehicle while the vehicle is in the car park, unless such damage or theft is caused by the negligence of the Airport or its agents or employees, and then only to the extent that the Airport

I know nothing much about them but am suspicious of the fins.

Here is a Previous Thread

and

Another

Just had a bad thought, what would of been the out come if the marine camp was breached and the wrong people got in there?????

 

Malcolm

They would be shot

I think if the car park is advertising (and charging) as a "secure" car park, such as airport parking etc then it may be a similar example Martin.

Only trouble with that is the cost? work out how much it would cost to keep a car in one of these so called secure car parks 24/7 365days per year on a pro rata floor space occupied and teh cost would come out more than most if not all boat parks in the area. Would we be prepared to pay more than we do now? maybe for a short while, perhaps after a loss but long term? realistically I doubt it, we already feel robbed

This next quote is lifted from NCP car parks

Please note that although we have the above responsibility to you, you should bear in mind that public car parks are open to everyone. We cannot guarantee that people will not enter into the Car Park and cause damage to property or engage in criminal behaviour. Accordingly, you park in our Car Park at your own risk. We do not guarantee the security of your vehicle and/or its contents.

I am not trying to defend any yard or be controversial just trying to put it all into perspective. Look on stolen boat and research which yards and areas being targeted it really is an eye opener.

I will though be asking Rockley what they are planning on doing to protect my pride and joy before I renew my contract for this year.

I would say our gear whatever it is and wherever it is, is not safe..... anywhere..any vigilantes out there?

Martin

I actually don't think the security at rockley is any worse to that of other yards, ask those that are in Ribs and have been robbed or those in Cobbs that have lost kit,

As an aside I was in the yard today and was told that they have put in additional cameras and perimeter fence alarm this week. A little late but they are trying. Also recently the gates were made more secure however that's not a lot of help when scrotes go through a wire fence.

Regarding insurance no yard will cover your goods for theft. They will only cover you for damage caused by their activities/staff. Try claiming from a car park owner if your car is broken into or stolen.

I think you ought to read your terms and conditions of berthing at Cobbs, I just have and after reading would be surprised if the yards insurance would cover theft it states:

Subject to Clause 4 of Schedule 2 of the Annual Services and Berthing

Package Agreement the OWNER assumes all risk and responsibility for

the security of the BOAT and its safe operation at all times. The OWNER

shall maintain in full force and effect a fully comprehensive insurance

programme featuring comprehensive hull cover for the full market value

of the BOAT, its gear and equipment (and any other property in the

MARINA belonging to or in the care and custody of the OWNER) and

third party liability insurance against the liabilities of the OWNER, their

crew, guests and invitees with an indemnity of not less than TWO

MILLION POUNDS STERLING per incident for the BOAT and its tenders

together with such other insurance cover as is normal for a boat of its

size, power and description. Such insurance to be effected with

reputable insurers. Additionally where the OWNER engages paid crew

for the BOAT they shall maintain a policy of Employers' Liability

Insurance fully in accordance with current legal requirements.

5.2  The OWNER shall not cancel, surrender or materially alter the terms of

any part of the insurance programme without the prior written consent

of the COMPANY.

5.3  The OWNER shall furnish the COMPANY on request with full details and

legible copies of the current insurance certificates and policies together

with evidence of their goodstanding.

I would love to be proved wrong but I would think for theft your own boats insurance should cover you. I would also think it normal practice to claim on your own insurance then for them to claim against the yard if appropriate. That's exactly as it happens in car insurance claims and can't see it being any different for boats.

Well done Carol a superb fish and a great start for your 2013 season

Martin

Derek & Brian

Can I move this thread into a public area? I feel the more know about it the better, your call

Martin

If there has to be wind then North is a good direction for Poole harbour as most if not all boats are on that side of the harbour

Martin

Just had confirmation from Mark at Poole Sea Angling Centre that the Open Cod comp is definitely on this week end

Martin

Dave Halfen Hobbs and Allan Jeffries won't be there either..........but I will

A verry happy Birthday Kev look after yourself old fella

Martin

You need to watch the video Alfie, then you'll see why nobody is really interested in the correct definition, or even listening to what she said..

I listened avidly ..........with my eyes

I have the same transducer as you and it works fine.

Wherever you place the transducer you need clean (no bubbles) water. This means if a through hull keep away from hull strakes through hull fittings and the like. It also means no bubbles in the fibreglass so fix temporarily to see where it works best.

Mine (through hull) works well up to the early 20's most of the time not so good if in rough water because of air under the hull. Works right up to 32 knots but not a good picture at that speed but still usable

Hppy Birthday to you both have a great time

Martin

Feliz Navidad de Espana.

Wishing all Members and guests

A Very Merry Christmas, and a Happy Healthy and Prosperous New Year

Martin & Veronica

Due to the weather Poole Sea Angling Centres annual open cod comp has been postponed until Sunday 6th January

Martin

Saw the Coastguard van and police dashing down sandbanks road this morning then heard the reports on local radio, totally tragic

My thoughts are with all those concerned and their families

Martin

Ben not sure where you see negativity from any of the posts above or why you

didnt expect much else

It feels like you may have an issue with the club or membership, not sure why but I do wish you had spoke to one of us before leaving the post you held here.

Martin

You can carry your kit in the car it then doesn't then count in the trailer/boat combo weight

I am not sure that is correct Martin

 

I am sure in the past it was confirmed that fully ladening the car while towing, just to minimise the trailer weight would get you into trouble with the feds

Your probably correct for overall train weight but to keep a rig (trailer/boat) below the weight necessary for trailer brakes I think you'll find it correct however best to check the relevant laws and not rely on us on the forum which is probably what Diver Dave posted
