Cheap boatyards/storage in Southampton area?

[Andrew E]

I've got until the end of the year to sell my 26 foot bilge keeler in the marina, after which she will need to be [strike]scuttled[/strike] moved and stored ashore. I'm expecting her not to sell before January so I'm putting together a few contingency plans incase someone has to move her to a yard.

I'm looking for something around the £100 per month mark, so I've ruled out MDL and even Kemps Quay who want £200 smackeroos a month for shore storage! Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps I'm missing somewhere that isn't listed on Google...

Cheers

Thought of IOW? Cheaper than mainland.

Wicor have an on-line quote function on their web-site but I think you may be too late as they get a lot of demand - worth asking I would say.. IoW will be expensive to get to and possibly off-putting for potential buyers. You may get deal in Poole - several small yards to choose from. What about Keyhaven??

I would try Elkins boatyard in Christchurch - really friendly team there and compeditive pricing.

Only if you want to take your chances with 'Dipstick Danny'

Alas, Wicor isn't the price it used to be. This may be the price of everyone recommending the place and it filling up with boats... :-(

Hayling Yacht Company might be worth looking at, too. http://www.haylingyacht.co.uk/default.htm

May be worth trying Fareham Marina... http://farehammarina.com.websitebuilder.prositehosting.co.uk/

Does it need to be ashore? Lots of good deals afloat over the winter. Welcome to borrow mine on the hamble short term if you want?

Have a look along the Itchen with Google Maps and you will see several yards full of boats on the eastern side. Dropping down to Streetview will often let you see a sign at the entrance to get the name. None of them exactly look pricey

Do you mean Woolston side? There are also one or two on the west side with some onshore storage like Itchen Marine Towage.

And there is also Quayside Marina (thinks that's what its called) next to Kemps Quay. With reference to Kemps, suspect they have put up price for onshore storage as they have less room than they use to what with the big marquee and more units.
