Dryng in Ilfracombe?

[Tim Good]

Just seen the Ilfracombe webcam and saw a reasonable large yacht on the wall there. I have never been into Ilfracombe so curious if a 2m draft vessel can dry easily against their wall? Is it allowed, is the bottom ok etc?

Clearly by the time I have sailed from Bristol down there is it going to be low tide but would be a good thing to know.

I've done it in a friend's Oyster 395 which must have had something like 2m draft. We were on the wall to port as you come in and it was still quite a climb up. There was a line of boats along that wall when we were there (Round Lundy race). As I recall the bottom was firm clean sand.

the yacht against the wall has a 2mtr draft and is quite happy without legs, she is owned by a local. she has just over gone a refit at Watchet after an Atlantic crossing and will be heading to the Med in the next few Months

We were there at the weekend. When the water was at the level pictured in the outer harbour , we just started fully floating in the inner harbour at that position.
