Sounds like a great idea will try to make it.
My boat has a 1.5 meter wing keel so would need some water.

40 foot mobo with centre keel, spent most of her life in a mud berth so no probs there. Would we be OK?

Allow 1hour from Portishead if sailing to arrive around H.W.
Goodwill and co-operation from all visitors will be required for mooring up. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hello Gents - well sounds like the Pill is filling up; as you see we are fully drying - but have a good depth of soft boulder clay that's deeper towards the entrance but still with plenty near the pontoon.

We've had plenty of fin keelers here before and a number of members moor them very happily in the pill -there's enough mud for them simply to sink in !

Here is a link to our website - where you've got pilotage info and a video /photos of the pill so you can see it with and without water

web site here

See you then and here's a beer to be getting on with /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I have a feeling the weekend wont be as tranquil as the last time I visited .

We are looking forward to it.

 

[PCUK]

No problem with rafting, sadly since last post life has got in the way, so unlikely to make it now. Hope to visit sometime in the season though. Sounds like just our sort of place.

Free pint of beer - you wouldn't get that past the Treasurer of the club! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
