Information on where I can take a 17' Fletcher inboard

[Tim Robinson]

Hi,

I have just joined this forum and would like to have some suggestions about where I can take this boat other than rivers.
What is the situation and cost for the Lake District and the area around Christchurch and Lymington.
Thanks
Tim

Windermere has 10 mph speed limit. where are you based.

Round Poole harbour is very nice and on good days you could enjoy around Studland

Hi
Thanks for the reply. Near Market Harborough, almost as far away from the sea as you can get!

Is there any reason not to enter salt water? There are many estuaries she would do well in and even the sea on a calm day.
Local to me that I can think of.
Conwy Estuary
Menai Strait
Barmouth
Aberdovey

If you're planning on travelling around the country, please check and treat your trailer wheel bearings and tyres with love, care and attention... and then some more care, love and attention...
Nothing more likely to chip away at your good mood than a trailer wheel coming off en-route.

I'm speaking from experience a few years back when I bought a trailer dinghy and one of the wheels fell off driving it home from the previous owner - all looked fine before setting off
Couldn't replace in situ as the bearing shell was fused to the axle so had to find and borrow another trailer to get it all home and fix there (thankfully only a mile but still a royal pain).
