Boat storage, Itchen or Hamble

[Wiggo]

A friend is looking at buying a 15-16' ski boat, but doesn't want to trail it. Does anyone have any contact details for yards with trailer storage and a slipway or dry storage facilities in the Itchen or Hamble areas?

Regards

Hamble Point have one now, or at least they have a planning application in for one, HYS at Port Hamble have got one in operation and there is one by Northam Bridge on the Itchen but I dont know the name.

The name Ben was thinking about is Southampton Drystack . There is also the facility to keep the boat on a trailer and have it launched at Eastlands Boatyard at the top of the Hamble just north of the M23 bridge.

Drivers Dry Berting are right next to Southampton Drystack and a lot cheaper, crane in and we have found to be very very helpful and totally flexible, loads of very interesting race boats and they organise poker runs etc for all berthers, cracking place. Call

Ah, yes Paul I'd forgotton about them. It's where Shelley Joury keeps her Honda 225 race boat. That where you keep yours?

Yes, Hustler P1 and Jackie Hunts ExtremeBoat (Ex Arpro) are also there, plus a number of V24's, some classic round britain stuff, hydroplanes etc. its an exceptionally interesting meander for a good hour or two. Gill and Gareth have just the right attitude in my book and were devastated and so helpful when scroats attacked QualityJob last year. Couldn't recommend highly enough. That's why we and a lot of other racers have their logo on our boats at no cost, they are simply that good! P
