They could always get into your dinghy off the old slipway at Q'boro and cover you and your boat in mud.
Gillingham marina? Don't where it is in relation to the station.
I'm on the other side of the Thames where it is hopeless unless you are shallow draught and come in at Bell Wharf, Leigh-on-Sea near the top of the tide. That's near the station.

Sun Pier in Chatham, just down from the Command House Pub. About 10/15 minutes from Chatham Station. Not a place to leave your boat unattended. But it is all tide and easy on and off.

There is a hard at the Strand, just down river from Gillingham Marina but there is a veneer of mud on it.

Where's that then? Is it above the road/rail bridge?

Can anyone tell me what is actually wrong with the ATL at Queenborough and when it is likely to be re-opened?
Thanks

Damaged by strong winds over the winter.
Nobody wants to pay for the repair. None of the interested parties has any money for the upkeep. Yacht club is so skint doesn't even have a telephone.
Latest local gossip is that it will never be repaired and is likely to be scrapped.

Re: Queenborough ATL
Some of the repairs already completed. Latest news from the group that manage it is that Medway Ports are going to do the final part of the repair but as they will be doing at 'cost' it will be fitted in when they can.
If this was a French town it would all have been fixed months ago, paid for by the local council.

If this was a FRench town, the whole cheap and shaby area would be flattened and rebuild as a proper marina resort. And better it would be ;-)

Re: Queenborough ATL
Yuk!! Not all of us like marinas. Yes the ATL is great and good to hear that it's being repaired. Queenborough has a lovely charm...if you want a posh marina then Chatham up river isn't that far.
