I have used Safe2Shore and they are ok but be aware this is coming up to their busiest time of year so book well in advance of your wanting its return

Excellent news. I can remember when the heart went back into my last boat, such a great feeling.

I had a 17' hardy for sale. A prospective purchaser came for a sea trial. I duly launched the boat from the trailer with the prospect and his son in the boat. I gleefully took the trailer back to the carpark only to find on my return the boat had 6/7 inches of water in it. Oops forgot to put...

Wonderfull, funtime begins now
