Solent Area - List of Drying Posts / Places

Update:
Chichester Harbour
Dell Quay SC 50 49.1700 N 000 48.9600 W around slip, hard to the north of the quay at Dell Quay SC. Not Piles, drive up the soft gravel after HW and put out a pulling off kedge anchor and warp. Tucked out of the prevailing wind and tide at the back. The problem here is that you do not float off until late evening on Springs and the channel is not lit.

Langstone Harbour
Locks sailing club 50 47.74 N 001 02.20 W On entry, turn to West along channel to Southsea marina, you will find a pair of piles to your starboard at the bottom of the slipway to Locks sailing club.

The ECA have recently installed a pair to the S of the PUBLIC slipway opposite their club but good luck to using those as their takeover of Langstone harbour continues apace.

Who / where is ECA? Can outsiders use the piles?

...Who / where is ECA?...

The Eastney Cruising Association is consistent with the location

Their clubhouse is on the port hand side of the entrance channel to Langstone Harbour. Will be down that way tomorrow evening so will look to see if I can locate the new piles.

The slipway opposite their clubhouse is public but the piles - installed this year by them - are not tho'. If you plonked your boat on them it would be interesting to see their reaction. In fact I may try it myself some day - just for the crack like.

These would be they then:-


Strange but I thought it was very soft mud where they are unless ECA have put in a base.

you could phone them and ask
see http://montymariner.co.uk/articles/solent-area-drying-piles/ for number

 

[navtech]

Thanks, but that site does not list a number for them, and when I last tried the number on the club's website, it was disconnected!

Emsworth should come under Chichester Harbour, not Langstone Harbour

 

[PlankWalker]

Hardway scrubbing posts I like a 4.3m tide for a 5'-8" draught, but with this high pressure proceed with caution.

Thanks, I should be well ok then with 4.4m tide and a 1.4m draught!
