Cheapest place to get lifted out and mast dropped near Cardiff?

[steve yates]

I am going to sail round from neyland to Cardiff to get the boat transported over to Essex, I have a good price for the haul, but need local advice on where is reasonable near Cardiff to lift out and demast?
Thanks, steve

The people that bought my boat used Cardiff marina and seemed happy with the service.
If you head over to Portishead you'll save a few miles and the bridge tolls.

Barry Yacht Club might be able to help? (not sure about the mast though)

But as Allan says for the extra couple of hours sailing Portishead might be a better shout (to save in haulage fees, but might cost more in Marina fees)

I would highly recommend Andy at http://www.yachtrigger.co.uk/default.html based at Penarth Marina.

If I was using Cardiff marina for the lift out I would still use Andy for the rigging. Cardiff marina is run by his uncle.

Just a thought, is it a hiab lorry? If it is they might be able to demast you but if it isn't you need to make sure the lift/hoist will get you high enough to load you.

It's not a hiab, but good point about the height, will check.
