Poole launching and parking

Probably been covered before but I have a specific question.

Where is the best place to launch or should that be recover a big RIB with good parking for LandRover and trailer for about 3 days??? Ideally fairly near the ferryport.

I wouldn't leave your vehicle at a public slipway for three days. Perhaps try Poole Boat Park?

Have a look here, Codders: http://www.rib.net/forum/showthread....ighlight=poole

Does this mean you've got a delivery date for your RIB?

Still no definite date but should be before mid August!!!

Don't care about leaving vehicle for 3 days as long as it's in nobody's way - my LandRover has nothing inside it to steal and if anyone manages to get the vehicle away they deserve a medal - I use a couple of very hefty chains which I chuck around the nearest lamp post as well as another through the wheels!!! The trailer will be just as well guarded!!!

This quote from Andy looks interesting - anyone know any more - ie parking??
"Between the boat storage yard and the mariner/sunseeker building is dee way
a good little known deep all tide FREE slipway.

Poole bridge/// units/// boat yard // slipway //mariner-sunseeker building///rnli college"

DJL suffered from slashed tyres a year-or-so ago whilst parked at the Baiter slipway, so beware. I guess you could park at the ferry terminal?

I'm sure the friendly natives will add to this, maybe saving you a trip?

As a resident at Poole Boat Park I doubt very much if they will do a one-off lift and recovery; or if they do it will be big $$.

Best bet is Cobbs

poole slipways

hello there, cobbs quey which is across the lifting bridge then 3/4 mile on right (signposted) it has a barrier which comes across at night and camera's, you are supposed to pay to launch on there large slipway, but i have never had any one ask for money..and no indication of where to go to pay?

the car park is very secure and is not affected by high or low tides.

good luck ian

Actually 0.5m!!!

Looking at the prosport website it says

L.O.A 8.8m (29ft 4)
B.O.A 2.7 (8ft 9)
Internal Length 8m (26ft 4)
Internal Beam 1.8 (5ft)

Which is nearer to 9m than 8.5!!! 8.8 just sounds silly!!!!

Of course when it comes time for me to have a berth it will have shrunk to 8m!!!!!!!!!!!

I use Davis's boatyard (right next to Cobbs). They are cheaper and friendlier, and the guy who takes your launch money is an ex-copper who lives in the boatyard.He's helpful and has eyes like a hawk. The yard is locked at night too. The only drawback is that you're limited to 1 hour before/after LW neap or 2 hours before/after LW spring tides.You might have fun with a 9m there though as there's a bend in the slip at the top but it's definitely worth checking out before going into Cobbs.

I don't know if they'd do that -launch and parking fees are one and the same thing at Davis's-you only pay once and the 2 yards are in direct competition but hell, give it a try .It's worth checking out the slip anyway-There's a pontoon with a walkway to it right next to the slip too so you don't even have to get aboard during launching. As you turn right into Cobbs with the barrier in front of you the entrance to Davis's is on your right down the fork in the road. The 2 yards are only separated by a wall. There's plenty of room to turn round in Davis's too if you find you can't use their slip.
