The craning out is going ahead, on October 25th. Further info. is in the September 2025 newsletter
Below is the info. that was sent to all club members, prior to the arrangements being finalised.
TO BOOK A LIFTOUT PLEASE PAY £450 TO THE CLUB BY AUGUST 31st
Important details are below
We have completed pricing the cost of a lift out and the lift back in for the boats with a provisional lift out date of October 25th. Based on ten boats being lifted in and out the cost per boat will be £450 however should 15 boats pay to be lifted out and back in the cost per boat would then fall to £300 giving a refund of £150 per boat.
I had a quote from Aqueduct for a lift out and back in for my 32 foot boat with a week’s storage ashore and it came to £800 plus VAT . Other marina might be cheaper but this gives an idea of costs for those marinas that will lift fibreglass boats.
As we have had significant problems in past years with members not paying deposits or withdrawing at the last moment leaving club funds to make up the significant shortfall this year the rules will be very clear.
If you wish your boat to be lifted out the full amount of £450.00 must be paid by 31st August 2025
If insufficient members pay and we cancel the lift all monies paid will be refunded.
If a member wishes to cancel their lift out after paying the full amount there will be no refund
If more than ten members pay for a lift out and back in meaning that we receive more than the cost of the lifts then any money left over will be refunded equally to all those who have paid for a lift out.
It is each the boat owners responsible to ensure that any shoring timbers are available at the time of the lift out.
The lift out is suitable for all fibreglass boats or steel boats up to 25 foot.
The payment of the full amount by August 31st is absolute we cannot continue as we have done with either the club making up the balance or having to cancel as we did last year.
Please let Alan (harbourmaster) or Paul (assistant harbourmaster) know as soon as you have paid the money into the club bank account. Club bank account details here.
The date for the lift back in is not yet booked but should be late March or early April.
If you have any queries then please contact either Alan (harbourmaster) or Paul (assistant harbourmaster)
Best wishes
Paul (assistant harbourmaster)
