Launching Provisions

It maybe on some skippers minds as to what to bring for launching.

At Manor Park we have a wide beach that shelves gently to about 450-600mm (18"-2' in old money) in 3m and then falls steeply from there to 6m depth. As such it is possible to launch by walking the boat into the water wearing deck shoes or waders/wellies but care must be taken around the edge of the drop.

We are also building a temporary jetty that will enable skippers to launch from the dry if they prefer.

There should be plenty of helpers on hand around the launch area to assist should skippers wish to entrust their craft to others to launch.
