Boatingman Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 BA had a Information Center at the Quay for many years which they closed due to lack of support Whilst I think it is a good idea why close then re-open Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "hub" idea has been around for some time so a good place to start & promote the South for a change 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petersjoy Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Gas Dyke has been cleared of all the small "locals" boats which are all moored on the North side of the Yacht Station taking up all the moorings at that side, It's clear ready dredging but i heard there's a hold up regarding who is responsible for dredging it. I'll back there in a couple of weeks and will see how far they are on with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't normally bother in November. I've heard that it's super busy this week, but then it is half term. I was expecting it to be very quiet next week.

petersjoy Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I'm sure you will be ok next week, not seen it packed full while i've been there, that was last week. We are back there on the 13th for a few days so will miss you, would be nice to see some photo's while you are there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewcook Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 As to the over due Investment of Beccels Yacht Station now being put right will this encourage New Boat Yards Investment on that side of the River? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
