Can anyone please recommend good spots for drying out my csy (5ft 6" draft) in the Hamble or Solent area??, if water is available so much the better. Many thanks

Land's End at Bursledon. Handy for the Jolly Sailor whilst waiting for the tide. Shame the pub is a travesty of its former self.

Piles by the public slipway in Hamble village, right by the Royal Southern YC. Have lunch at 'im and 'er.

Piles by the Harbour Master's office in Warsash. Have a drink in the Rising Sun.

hardway sailing club at gosport - several sets of posts - modest charges- club with water - pressure washer- showers - bar - available to none members but you would need to check to see if posts prebooked by members

michael_w has it about right. used to be a set of piles at Mercury Creek but cynical misuse of the Health and Safety excuse caused these to be removed. Shameful.

None of the piles have a water tap, doubly shameful.

Wicormarine at the top of Portsmouth Harbour. Excellent drying grid, with water and leckky plus walk ashore. Rate last year was £45 for the day but check at www.wicormarine.co.uk
