i got told westbay ya can pay around £100 for launch and recover + parking for a season will look in to that as portland is £27.50 + £3 habour fee's every launch but car and trailer are safe ,

portland is £30 to launch but you get free parking harbour dues payed aloso get the use of showers and lockers and if wanted you can go into the club aswell grab a drink longs not driving yourself

It still seems a lot,

Paying a yearly fee seems much better to me.

If I had a boat I think I'd like to be able to use it on the spur of the moment, like on a Sunday afternoon just decide to go out for a couple of hours (bit like my shore fishing, take the opportunity at short notice when I get a chance) I think if I was paying out before the boat even touched the water it would stop me wanting to use it.

The other option would be if you had something with a sail the you could join Portland sailing club, I was speaking to someone a little while back and they said that for the membership fee you get free storage for your boat etc - I can't remember how much they said but membership wasn't much.

You would just have to pretend you were going to sail it and stick the outboard on as soon as you were out of sight lol

I had no idea it was this expensive!

to keep a boat that size in the water at Weymouth marina would be £1600 a year or £2200 a year at Woolverstone.

i think me and worzel were told £175 for the year to join portland sailing academy as members to launch when ever we want but dont hold me to that price worzel might tell you different cant remember top my head but not far off

Yeah that sounds about right, much more reasonable. Just have to pretend to be interested in sailing. Very Happy

the moorings in the fleet arnt that expensive i think theyre 60 quid a month and it would stop having to store at home and tow there and back.

Is there a waiting list for these moorings? and who do you contact about them?

Cheers

we tried to launch at lyme few years ago was to rought there so decided went to portland put boat out and we were a bit more sheltered up there

I don't think it has to be a sailing boat to get the annual membership at the academy. Me and Ian looked into it last year. For the number of times you are likely to get out I don't think its that good a deal, plus you are stuck with fishing around portland all the time when better fishing may be had elsewhere.
