Brian Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Worth considering Parkstone Bay Marina. Its where I dry store my Aquafish 23. They dont rack the boats over 20' they store them on launch trailers, so easy access when ashore. Very secure, not many issues with theft. Great new faclities - new posh shower block etc. Close to the entrance - saving you about 15-20 mins over Rockley. They also have a fuel berth onsite which does both petrol and diesel on an account basis and self service. The downside is that you pay a little more for these extras - worth consdiering. Adam I'm at Rockley, my boat's 16.5 ft and I'm not on the rack. I asked to go on a ground level stand so I could get to the boat at any time.

Brian Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 You might find this helpful, it's a comparison of times to the Entrance in Summer and Winter from Rockley, Cobbs and Parkstone Bay. Assuming keeping to the 6 knt speed limits and the 10 knt speed limit in the Summer and a maximum of 20 knts in the winter. Summer Rockley to Entrance = 33mins Cobbs to Entrance = 30mins Parkstone Bay Marina = 17mins Winter Rockley to Entrance = 20mins Cobbs to Entrance = 24mins Parkstone Bay Marina = 11mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fox Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Brian, some of us keep within those speed limits and still can't achieve those timings! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher 126 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 1st Oct the speed limits in certain areas were lifted. Back on 1st April. You know you want to get out and large it Jim. Get them repairs sorted or you will have to come out with me again! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'd love to come out on your boat again Chris. I'd need to bring ear plugs though ! I don't think I can handle all that Banter ! ! I can't come out at the mo anyway. Too much happening at home. Cheers Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
