Slipways in United States

[Aningoul]

Good morning to all friends!

I wish to know if there are slipways in Miami, San Francisco and Los Angeles, eventualy receive photographs and also if the use of slipways is free or paying and how much ?
To compare with Europ, particularly France, Italy and Spain

If some body wishes to know the slipways in Franch Meditrranean and Corsica, I am able to inform!

And ssuse me for my bad English!

I dont know about the USA, but here in the Isle of Man slipway charges (and car park charges come to that) are a strange and rather amusing concept.
A concept invented by money crazed foreigners.
We think "why on earth would someone charge for using empty space??".

Why in earth would you want a cat with a tail either?

You'd do better to search for "Boat Ramps" in the US. We generally do not refer to them as slipways.

In general (and this is very general, so don't rely on it too much), boat ramps that are built and maintained through public money (City or State funding) are free to use, but there will be a charge for parking. Ramps built or maintained through other than public money will usually charge a use fee, often a per use (i.e. you pay to launch and pay again to recover.)

Don't know how detailed or up-to-date this is, but you could search this:
