Hi,

I'm after suggestions for best / cheapest place to lift out (need 25t crane) and store 14m yacht for the Winter 2014 Portugal / N.Spain.

I may consider leaving her afloat if the price is right.

Please let me know all possibilities so I can consider my options

Mant Thanks, appreciated

Pete

PS I have also put this on Scuttlebutt to gain wider audience.
 
It might be worth getting a quote from Marina Davila in Vigo. We were lifted out for a survey in March and the deal we got was 325 Euros for the lift out, scrubbed off, put on the hard in a heavy duty cradle for 2 weeks and lifted back in.
We were allowed to stay aboard and do as much work ourselves to the boat as we wanted to. They have a 70 ton hoist.

If you want the best weather try Bruce at Nave Pegos in Faro and also Marina Formosa in Olhão where they pull you out on a sort of trailer.
