Emsworth Yacht Harbour becomes employee owned

[Concerto]

The privately owned Emsworth Yacht Harbour has become 80% owned by the 12 employees and Alison Wakelin (the current owner) will move to a non-executive director role. She said “Becoming an employee-owned business presented a perfect opportunity to safeguard the future of our community and allow us to continue to deliver a fantastic experience to our many loyal customers."

Are these the same employees who fitted the bathroom lock that didn’t unlock and their solution was a sign that said “move it faster”? I’m not sure they’re ready for the responsibility!
Great to see it’s not being sold to one of the big groups, although it might have fitted well with Boatfolk.

They will have been following the architectural drawings of the company who design amenity blocks for marinas. The company who have no idea how much space you need when manoeuvring to remove six layers, sea boots and ollies, after 72 hours in a F6 when you are cold, wet and hungry, and perhaps at your gumpyest.

You should try Shoreham. The cubicle is so narrow you have to go in sideways, then mid shower go back out in to the hallway to turn around and do the other side.

That sounds like the same architect.

Perhaps there should be an RYA Award for the amenity block that is least functional for sailors.

Architectural drawings aren’t needed to fit a door lock, or to fix it when you screw it up. Hopefully they’ve sorted it by now but the sign was up for at least three years while I was there otherwise a great marina.

But they will determine the amount of space where the lock can be fitted.

I've been in cubicles where I've been amazed at the skill and craftmanship of the chippy a lock where the space for it is 'tight'.

No this is a standard door and door handle with built in lock.
