great white Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 4.3 m Is that going to make it bridge lifts only? I am sure that will rapidly become a pain. Nice looking boat Martin, have you looked at the Port of Poole and Poole Quay options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I assume parking is a problem at Poole Quay Boat Haven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Based on all the above criteria/factors I can think of a marina that ticks most boxes, would mean a bit of a drive Down the coast though. Maverick Martin and Adam F 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish we had a similar facility in Poole I would be there like a shot however, an hours drive there and back is just a bridge to far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam F Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Adam definitely not cheaper in fact around 1400 dearer than Cobbs for a pontoon berth That's interesting. I wonder if Cobbs can dry berth mine at 28'? If they could it would be worth a quote... I'll be in the market for a berth again in a few weeks.... Don't every fancy being back in the water though, dry is the way forward I feel, esp. With an Outdrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Based on all the above criteria/factors I can think of a marina that ticks most boxes, would mean a bit of a drive Down the coast though. I'd love to be based out of Portland, even for a try for a season or two.... But it makes a long journey even longer for boat partner Ian. It's a cracking Marina, with great access to some awesome fishing. Do they dry stack Matt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam they can and that was what I really wanted however a boat that size cannot go in the racks so has to be floor based for which they told me they're full. I was offered a marina berth then put on the dry stack when/if a place becomes available. The thing I have been fretting about mostly is having twin shafts how they would manage to dry berth without causing damage. Not a lot of space left for forks and bunks. I have decided to try the Marina berth, if it doesn't work for me reconsider options next year. Adam F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Yes they do dry stack at portland, its what we are on Adam F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjb Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Maybe it would be worth thinking about copper bottom antifoul before she is put on the mooring supposed to be the DBs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I am sure if we as a club approached Quay Haven during the winter months we could get a good deal for an overnight stop for an early start or late arrival. Then it is just a matter of dropping the boat off and come back to collect it when it suits, don't have to worry about bridges when you are in a hurry to get out. Just got to get a lift down to the quay and away you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
