Cookham Slipway ( Thames Slipways ) & Public definition.

[MorrowinD]

Hello.

Thinking of launching a 15' 6" Bilge Keel on to the Thames for the day. Needs two feet draft. Anybody any experience/advice with his slipway... or suggest another in the area.

As it's on the net as public Slipway, am I to understand I need make no prior arrangements ? Are there monies to be paid ?


Thanks for any help on this..

Is that the slipway at the Ferry? If so, it didn't look that good last time I saw it and there were also a few cars blocking it.

suggest you put your question onto the Thames Forum on this website.

Thanks, hadn't realised there was one. Duly posted.

Slipway has a steady stream of boats but it's not a bad spot assuming you can navitgate the pub patrons parking !

Cheers.

It's not the best as the concrete slip ends shortly after entering the water. You would be better using the one at Marlow, just down river from the bridge, which is excellent and has a pier to moor to alongide the slip.

Thanks for the reply. Would have tried this lovely weekend just gone but had commitment's...

My concern with he Marlow slip is where on earth can you leave the trailer ?
