Sea Start Med?

[B175Chris]

I'm certain last year i saw something saying Sea Start were moving out to the Med for Summer 07, am i imagining things or am i missing it?

Me too !!! not much good for the solent boater's if they have to come from the med each time /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

um, i would have though this unlikely for lots of reasons. Language difficulties, the more spread-out geography of med boats rather than uk's very solenty concentration, the more occassional nature of med boating detracting from annual membership, etc etc.

Hm you could be right, i wasnt expecting them to go over to the med from the Solent /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif but they do offer french coastal services in places like le Havre, so just thought I'd check - i definitely read in one of the mags they were moving South in 07 but they must have scrapped the idea...

I have'nt seen them out there but if they were, I'd join tomorrow. I reckon they could make a killing in the Balearics or the Cote d'Azur where there are big concentrations of motorboats and owners who would rather pay somebody else to fix them

Just been looking and they don't seem to cover the East Coast and Thames routes to N France and Belgium as far as I can see, apart from shore facilities in Ramsgate. Still, that's £150 saved I suppose, but less peace of mind.

More and boats in the Bristol Channel area with another marina in Cardiff Bay, I'd join if they operated here as, I'm sure, would plenty of others.

I think you will find that N France is covered by 'locals' under contract - bit like the SW in UK where you do not get the yellow ribs and the international rescue /spiderman gambit!


Would not have thought it very difficult to fix this type of deal with the dealers/ service peeps in Med. After all its just a form of finacial insurance.

I'd join in a flash if they did.

Lets hope Mr Seastart reads this forum!

Ditto, so would I, I have had to bear the indignity of calling a frined to tow me in once when only half a mile from Cardiff Barage.

 

[Sneds]

Lucky it was only 1/2 a mile, other wise he might noy have been so keen /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Oh he was keen, you can imagine the subject crops up regularly in the guise of salvage and just who really own this boat comments!!!
