North-West or North Wales slipways

[Northern Tim]

Hi folks,

I'm new to the whole rib thing and have just bought a 3.5m Tornado. I'm planning to go out for the first time since completing my powerboat level 2.

Can anyone suggest any nice and easy coastal slips in the north-west or north wales?

Thanks,
Tim.

Check out http://www.boatlaunch.co.uk/

A favourite of most in that region is Pwllheli. Easy access to lots of beautiful bays and sandy beaches.

Hi Tim
We go out from Knott End Its ok to launch most states of tide but it is a bit muddy at the bottom of the slip, Its £8 to launch (free if the ferry isnt running) and free parking

Tim,
I always have this predicament. I live in Manchester and as someone once said "here's a message for all shipping in the Manchester area, bugger off, there's no water". Try looking at www.boatlaunch.co.uk. I would use it to look at where they are & if you can launch. Beware, councils change slipway procedures sometimes, so I'd be careful about the information it gives you. Always call the controlling authority to find out if they have any registration scheme or limitations. If you find anywhere good that isn't listed, any chance of an e-mail?
Happy boating.

Hi Martin. That'll be tues last week I take it????????????Ya should have phoned and we would have put the kettle on for your hot water bottle
Been flat calm and warm all this week, glorious weather with porpoises in the bay and the odd seal. Big group of 'em on the beach at Piel island (seals not porpoises !) on monday night this week with a few pups. Swimming all round the boats when we went in for a look. Been over again today for a play on Simon and Nikki's boat for their windfarm work. Quinquari with twin 200's
