Yards with slipways around Southampton

[ridgy]

Intending to bring my trailered racing boat to the south coast for a couple of months this summer.
There are marinas a plenty of course but I'm looking for a yard to store it that also has a decent slipway for launching.

Any ideas? Doesn't have to be Southampton exactly, the Hamble would be fine too.

Hamble Point is probably your best bet.

At the cheaper end of the scale, maybe somewhere like Drivers or Kemp Quay on the Itchen?

Foulkes looks full ashore at the moment but give Antony a call and i'm sure he'll help out where he can.

What about a dry stack for the summer? Plenty on the Hamble. Gosport.

Warsash hard, parking not too far away either.
Slipway next to the Royal Southern,

Dry stack at Universal Marina?

Dry stack at Universal Marina?

Looks lovely but gosh 500/month...it's normal parking spot is 96 per year!
Kemps looks reasonable, I'll try them.

Kemps hasn’t got a slipway

Yes, so they informed me today unfortunately, would have been a decent spot otherwise.
After some scouring on google maps I found that Merlin on the Itchen has a slipway. I'll try them tomorrow.
Had a look at Foulkes and they seem to be all powerboats, as do the yards around it which suggests that the A27 bridge does not have the height to get a yacht under.

The A27 road bridge is definitely too low if you have a mast

Elephant boatyard Bursledon.

Lauren Marine Woolston, cant recall if there is a slip.

Try one of the clubs? There is loads.

Go carefully with Hamble Point. The tide is a bit lively on the slip esp on the spring ebb.

Marchwood Yacht Club.

Calshot?

Rodding forge. Allington Lane, Fair oak. Caravan and boat storage. About £50 a month. Less than 15 mins drive from the free slipway at Bursledon. It’s the cheapest way to trailer sail the Solent.

Roddington Forge - Roddington Forge Leisure Storage Ltd

Also, if she is small enough to fit on a trailer you might be able to pick up a Hamble harbour master mooring for less than £700 /year. Use a dinghy, water taxi or join a club and use the bosun service. There are of options.

Use the slip south of the bridges, next to Deacons.
