Hi All

I'll be in St. Ives and Fowey next August with my rib, does anyone know good places to park the boat for easy launching? is Hayle any good? Will be visiting Fowey during regatta week.

Thanks for any advise.

Penmarlam park.

Secure slipway with IR CCTV and passcard/token entrance barrier. There are cottages to rent nearby and the slip is next to a campsite.

I stayed for a week a few years back & the harbour masters office sorted us out, phoned to book up in advance & they laughed & said they would always fined us something, just call in then we arrive! Gave us a deep water F & A just out side our accomadation

I'm off to Fowey next week - rang the harbourmaster & got the same response - just come and see us when you get here
I'll let you know what the result when i get back but sounded very helpful

Penmarlem is great but the slip is very steep if you don't have a 4wd.

Fowey Harbourmaster are very helpful , by all accounts . My mum often just turn up there and have never been turned away.

The watertaxi is good and regular too if you are moored offshore .

Very pleased with it so far Mate . An 18" prop will make it even better I hope
Its a good mix of power and economy for me .

Shaggy · 16 October 2006, 20:21

Good point. Watch for the lip at the end at LW springs too-it's not a problem any other time. It's got distances to it marked on the slip.

Xmass bash on Scillies would be cool.... Mollers has got a thread running on Cornwall247...

would be nice but chance of weather window at the right time is unlikely.
