Harry S Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Does anyone launch regularly from Lymington? If so, which slipway is best - Town Quay or Bath Road? Any advice/tips on using Lymington most welcome. All the best, Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I use the Bath Road slip, never been to the Town Quay as the roads leading to it looks quite narrow and bendy. The Bath Road one is wide but very steep, only use it if your car can handle the weigh of the boat plus the weigh of the car. Parking is easy but a little pricey, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swainiac Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Harry, arrive early doors at bath road, launch boat, tie up at pontoon, drive around past the pub nd park outside the houses for free. I'm not sure what time the Harbour master gets there for collection of said launch fee, but you can save 50% of the charges by parking on the road. Good luck.

lady jane Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 if you do launch and get away without paying dont smile too much as they can still charge you when you get back in.( i got caught wednesday). launch fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Even more excuse to stay out longer (till the harbour master goes home). A little trick if your car shall struggle. Instead os driving straight up the slip, drive across and up to either left or right for a few metres before straightening, once the car is moving, it's far more easier to pull.
