OK in the likely event that I am not allowed to dry out at Ramsholt is there anywhere local to the Orwell that it is possible and permitted.

Used to be through the sailing club at £10 - half price for members but the last time I inquired nobody wanted my money. I suggest you speak to Andrew at Felixstowe Ferry Boatyard to OK it with him.

Ramsholt
Think you might find George will not let you use the hard unless you have a mooring there. May be worth a call. If you do use it you need someone on the quay to take your lines. Best time is High Water or you can get caught and finish up hitting the slipway. There is one ring and a small piece of tube for the outer line. Done it a couple of times if you don't get far enough in then you finish up in the mud towards the transom.

Many thanks for that it could well be the one.

I'd always recommend a look see at LW a few days beforehand to check that it meets your requirements (I don't want any bad press
)

Ramsholt quay and slipway, plus a rather nice boat
2009 as I recall, after a trip from Wells to The Deben
Bit of a rough trip

And a lot of mud as well unless things have changed since I was a lad
We had a recent leaflet from Gus and Sarah at Pin Mill (we used to have a mooring there) that suggested that the scrubbing post and hard had been tidied up a bit.
We've not personally used a scrubbing post as we have a mobo and it goes really fast and the barnycules can't hold on
Pete, I would be seriously interested in coming along and watching this happen (Im assuming you are a fin keel ?) - and would then offer a pair of hands to help scrub your bottom (and we haven't even met !) . Tying up and drying out is one of the things on the list to learn this season. Others may refer to an abandoned attempt at Bradwell 2 years ago. Its all vicious rumour ..... mostly.
