Getting to Beaulie quay

[Whitelighter]

What is the practicality of getting right up to Beaulie quay with a 30ft sports cruiser?

Next Friday (16th) is bang on Springs and there should be a 3.5m tide at Bucklers hard. Would this give me a window of two hours (1hr either side of HW) to get right up to the little quay at Beaulie village?

Looking at the almanac and charts it looks possible. Ive been up in a tender before and seen some 30ft is yachts moored up. Would o up on the flood tide, stay for 30 mins or so and come back.

Possible, Practical or one to be avoided?

I have seen photo on here of Eperviers sunseeker up there so it must be possible , dont know if he stayed for a pint though

That is absolutely correct, I draw 1.2 meters with the legs down, and if you time it so you enter the river about 2 hours before hw and take a leisurely bimble up the river, about 45mins to the abbey,you can stay for lunch in the Mont, (as us locals call it) safely for a good couple of hours, you can tie up either side of the mill although on the abbey side the rings are hard to see as they are in the wall not on top, being the sad sod I am, I never grow tired of doing the trip even though I live within 8 mins of Beaulieu Village.

one of the times last summer

in the foreground is the other bank which has been cleaned up since this photo was taken.

Jez, you owe me a virtual drink for these, popped down to the river after lunch just for you,

this is for public use the dingy slip is opposite of the photo of my boat

the last bend in the river before the mill, keep hard to stb dont cut the corner you will hit the mud, but once in line with the mill 2.2 mtrs underneath at high water on spring tides

hope it's of use to you and anybody else who wants it.

Might be the angle the pic was taken from but the bow pointing down like that would have worried me......!!!

The lift "cage" at the top looks too small for the boat. So the strap at the stern is in about the right place, but the forwards strap is too far to the back, and ends up near the middle. If that middle strap slipped back a bit, crunch
