I've just published a short update piece about Rouen, which has expanded and renewed its facilities in 2013.

Thanks Grehan, good helpful information as usual, what would we do without you.

Let's hope that when they renew the toilets they don't paint them black as are the existing ones.

a little bit of additional info from me which might be useful on your website Grehan -

the guys who lower the mast belong to a seperate company - called LAMANAGE. The guy who is in charge is a really nice and enthusiastic person called CHRISTOPHE DUBOS - speaks very good english and very helpful. Email address is activiteplaisance@lamanage-rouen.fr and phone number 02.35.71.98.31.

Prefers to arrange the mast lowering by appointment - you do the deck work and he has a team of 2/3 guys who will assist if needed. Cost me 120 euros which I thought was reasonable.

Rouen port de plaisance

Thanks Andy, as always, although I think I'm already there (on the main Seine-Rouen page) . .

Since 2010 there has also been a de-masting/re-masting facility at Rouen, with excellent reports. Yachtspeople need to be ready to prepare – connect or disconnect – their mast, stays, shrouds and equipment (including electronics connections) themselves.
The facility is operated by the Rouen-Dieppe Port Company – telephone : 02 35 71 98 31 fax : 02 35 70 52 37 email: activiteplaisance©lamanage-rouen,fr. Christophe is the man to contact (in advance if at all possible) and he also speaks good English. There is a lift-out jetty (subject to some wash from passing river traffic) and crane / travel hoist. Cost (2012) 85€ for the hour it normally takes, 45€ per hour beyond that.
For supporting timbers, there is a big BricoDepot about half-way towards Rouen centre. For mast transport – Mastransport.de – or carry on board.

sorry - didn't see that one!

Be aware, Christophe has a very sarcastic sense of humour and can sometimes appear unhelpful and standoff-ish if you don't realise he's joking around with you. Very pleasant and helpful, though.

We found Christophe very helpful and the price we paid was less than we were quoted originally. I had previously emailed and booked. Lamanage are also storing my mast and sails for 50 Euros a month. Very good service

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm just finishing pages for "Tidal Europe/east-channel" so that was very timely! I've just got to pick up your extra links further north to finish the page off. Your corrections welcome!
