Ryde isle of wight - harbour entrance silting up

[ashtead]

Yes hopefully no damage done to the shiny newish Bav 42 -it’s not a boat I have seen before at Haslar being where it returned to but maybe it was on route elsewhere. Happens to many on the Round the island race . With few crew hanging off the boom end or such like might not have been an option to work off when it happened. It’s actually quite easy to do if you turn left for cowes when leaving Bembridge and trying to avoid adverse tide.

It’s opposite me in the marina, not been there long but is based there.

 

[ashtead]

Thanks -I will watch out for them as quite a distinctive name .

 

[lustyd]

Name isn’t yet on the boat, we were discussing it at the weekend. Certainly go and say hello he’s very friendly

it used to be even more entertaining, because there's a deepish bit off Seaview that suddenly isn't any more, so you turn right and thud, stop. They spoiled that bit of fun by putting a leave to starboard race mark to keep people out, but there are still folk who try it, so there's often a race boat there to enforce it. I've anchored a little way inside that buoy to watch the race go by a few times, and there's always a couple of boats who want to go inside, then notice the race boat and crash tack..

The north edge of the sand is very steep so not much time to tack once you notice that the depth is reducing.

The hook shaped sand bank is not locally called 'The Trap' for nothing.

I didn't know that..

There is a 'The Trap' at Hurst.

 

[ashtead]

The name The Trap is news to me -maybe I lived a sheltered life on the island though . Westerly centaurs don’t have much of a problem but I do recall OOD34 don’t really like it so much .

Surely digging a large hole in a sandy beach will lead it to naturally filling back up, so digging out a harbour would suffer the same fate?
Was the location a sensible idea ?

Kayaks, Paddleboards And Deckchairs - Ryde Town Council Unveils Harbour Plans

 

[ashtead]

You would have thought plenty of space to store kayaks and paddle boards in the boarded up ice rink ,or the pavilion or the boating lake . Plenty of cheap containers available though but I wonder how long before it burns down with wood cladding -councils aren’t very good at cladding are they .
