Crane/Hiab Pembroke?

[tico]

I'd say speak nicely to Christine at Dale, they have both crane and travel hoist.
Yes, the track down to Rudders is somewhat bumpy and steep.
Vance at East Llanion has a travel hoist

Hm this could be a challenge. It's hard to get decent pictures of Rudders Boatyard to assess the difficulties or the possibilities.

Google Maps
for starters.

Bing is better, I did find a video on youtube (slide show), that gave a better perspective of the steepness (and also found out that Rudders is for sale...). The road looks straight and mostly flat, just steep. I wonder if an accommodation can be achieved using their transporter instead if necessary. I'll have to have words.

Rudders is a complete non starter, about a 1 in 4 narrow track down. I keep my boat there so know it well.

Vance at East Llanion is a good bet, certainly worth talking too. He offloaded my 31 footer off Kyle's low loader about 5 years ago so I could take it across to Rudders.

Rudders has been for sale for a number of years, unless they took it off the market and recently relisted it.

I've fired an email off to Vance, I'll give it a few days. (Minor hiccup my end so I don't need a response this second).

Not sure how that happened quoting my own post!

Rudders was for sale (and may still be) as what you could call a lifestyle business, but the owner is on site and upgrades continue. I actually spoke to him a few days ago so he is actively involved.

I'd be inclined to phone Vance, he's very helpful and pretty flexible in my experience.

I'll likely phone on monday, I'm waiting for mail in the mean time.

They have a crane at Lawrenny Welcome to Lawrenny Quay in Pembrokeshire

East Lannion would be easier to get to but IIRC he has a hoist not a crane.

East Llanion unloaded my boat, and helped me raise the mast using their teleporter. Worked well.

How about Milford Haven marina? They have a travel hoist.

24ton hoist, but no mast facility. I went to Vance at East Llanion, even though I get 10 weeks free on the marina yard as a berth holder
