Lucywoodhouse40 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hi all, I’m looking for a slipway (if that’s what they are called) with a winch to but my boat in tomorrow. Are are at our caravan in Hemsby so one close by would be great. Thanks Lucy Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrundallNavy Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Thurne has a good slipway and even closer, or try Martham Boat Development on Cess Road they have a very good slip and room to park your car/trailer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annv Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Hi Lucy Why do you want a slipway with a winch, if the boat is on a trailer you reverse trailer in water and float boat of, recovery in reverse order. John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnks34 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Also be wary of putting vehicle tyres on the wet if the slip is slimy, you can loose grip and it is sometimes best to use a rope as suggested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
