South coast boat storage

[simmons0]

Well ive decided the new rib really isn't going to fit in my parents garage so ive got to find somewhere else.

Thinking of storign it on the south coast somewhere. Preferably not to far from the motorway. Id much rather store it dry than on the water.

Andre, your place is ideal, it just takes to long to get to.

Does anyone know of a place and prices for dry sailing a 6m rib?
I would also need the yard to launch and recover for me.

Thanks guys

Try Drivers Wharf at Soton - Richard B can fill you in on costs. Either that or Rogue Wave might be able to sort you something out at his gaff at Saxon Wharf. Another alternative would be Calshot Activities Centre, although thats rather exposed to any one that wanders by.

I asked John Kennett if he'd like to put a directory entry for storage/dry berthing on the main site a little while ago, and supplied some info to start...

Oh well, I'll just forward you the email in a minute

Ive had a look at one, warsash would cost me £1400 to store it out in the open for 6 months. Thats with 20 launches.
About £1100 to have 10 launches.

Am i really gonna have to pay that much?

[simmons0]

Ah crap, those prices are excluding VAT too...

Yes!

But I've emailed you with some slightly better news (but remember that the further you are from the sea, the more you'll spend on petrol) And it means you don't wreck your trailer bearings (&brakes) unless you decide on a jaunt to a new cruising area. And you can still have a sporty car instead of a farmer's Land Rover (OMG I'm going to get some stick now!)

Or Move down to the south coast next to the big blue

Double yep

My wifes company can beat that price easily but she can't beat Calshot. She does have 3 spaces available for 2004. The concept is to try and set up a rib resource centre where you leave your boat and have access to other facilities, Meeting Changing room , Showers, some storage for your Kit, access to workshop and tools etc.

Basically the conceopt is to provide a resource for Ribbers run by Ribbers


Drivers Wharf is also pretty good and Alan Priddy reccomends a Dry berthing place in Portsmouth based in Canber Dock. I think it is run by Bill Baker
