Nice place to leave the boat-park it and go.

Last year they had a new years eve party. Might depend on how many there. Why not go and have a recce and find out?

Thanks for that Peter we will go take a gander at new year to see what it's like.
I am hoping there may be something suitable for sale. We have a small boat here in the uk at present and it is the intention to start cruising year after next (assuming house prices still continue to move in the right direction).

Friend of ours took these photo's last week. There appears to be some 20 yachts in a marina designed for 300. Does that not tell you something.

Does look rather spacious
Mind you if it is just somewhere to berth the boat over the winter it would not matter too much as we will not be staying aboard.
As long as they can offer lift out and somewhere to work to mantain her that would be fine with me.
Chances are will be buying our boat elsewhere and that not until probably spring after next and then we would spend the summer sailing so I don't think we will be looking to berth here for 2 years so things could have improved by then I suppose unless we find a boat nearby. .
At the moment we are sailing off the east coast uk based at shotley and we currently have a Pegasus 800 which is obviously too small for our plans.
I will post my opinion after we visit at new year.

It is one of the most luxurious boat parks in the world. They have a 300 ton travel hoist so lift out is no problem. However, they will NOT allow you to stay aboard when it's on land. Do not be tempted to let them do any work for you they are totally incompetent and were caught thinning the anti-foul on a boat.
