So far my thought is to launch from lymington not checked any tides or weather yet... but I do need to give it a run to empty some fuel out of the tanks..

Am easy on destination was thinking of the folly as not been since the refit..

[chris.moody]

High water Portsmouth 0841 4.49m low water 1414 1.39m. May be a bit windy on the Sat so need to keep an eye on that.

Sunday is looking better I would be up for a blast then, can't make Saturday

[chris.moody]

The Sunday does look better but at 3:00 to 3:30pm, the time I will be recovering onlo the trailer the tide will be at LW around 1.1m, just a bit too low for the slip.

I can't do Sunday as will be on the m3 going home. . Tides look Ok so will keep an eye on weather. .

[PeterM]

Sat looks ok..breezy but from the north so usually makes for a calmer Solent....:-)

Come on flipper..get beavering away.......

[chris.moody]

I'm going with Saturday as the 1.1m above chart datum at recovery time on the Sunday worries me (never tried recovering there in that little water and I know that it is possible to drop off the end of that particular slip if very low ). The Saturday at the same time will be around 1.6 to 1.7m above CD so not a problem.

If it's really windy why not come over to Calshot to launch. We can play around in Southampton Water and it's only a short blast across The Solent to Cowes and the Medina

[chris.moody]

Looks like so far we have

Avon SR4 rescue
Avon SR4 porn seats
Avon Adventure 5.6

Come on MattH get your SR4.7 back together.

Going over to Cowes on the 14th for lunch

[Crusher]

Just for info I recovered mine at Calshot right on a 1m low a couple of weeks ago without any issue, and no sign of the usual stones at the bottom. It was getting dark so I couldn't look too much, but i got the impression they may have done some work.......

Not sure my trailer up to it really needs a service(brakes disconnected)... Which I'm hoping to get done over the winter... It's. In Lymington just a short drive to the slip..

Thanks for that, in future I'll work on 1m above CD as my lowest recovery tide on that slip.

Recovered my RC last year after Bournemouth Air Show very low tide had the trailer of the end of the slip. Only a small drop nothing to worry about
