xpand1t Posted Wednesday at 21:27 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:27 Hi I'm hoping to bring my Macgregor 26 to the Norfolk Broads for a week or two next year and I was wondering if anyone would have somewhere to hire a bit storage for a trailer and how much this would be, ideally near a slipway and between Wroxham and Acle, If there was room for the car as well, that would be great, but the trailer is the main concern.

CambridgeCabby Posted Wednesday at 21:45 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:45 Try giving Rob a call at Sutton Staithe boatyard 01692 581653 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Seconded Rob at Sutton Staithe. If he can't accommodate you then Try Richardson's at Stalham Welcome to the NBN too Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargeandParge Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Another welcome from us. If you don't want to be up the Ant you could try The Swallowtail yard in Ludham, Hermitage Marina at Acle Eastwood Whelpton at Upton . I'm only thinking of slipways if you don't want to be under Ludham Bridge I am not sure if Horning sailing club could accomodate you maybe one of our members will let you know.

BrundallNavy Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago I don’t think the slip at Upton would be suitable for a 26 ft boat. Wayford marine would be able to accommodate you and have lots of room for storing the trailer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aboattime Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Landamores at Wroxham have slip way and boats on trailers by it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargeandParge Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago I said Hermitage Marina and that wouldn't help as our OP would have to navigate under Acle Bridge. So forget Hermitage. Kindest Regards Marge and Parge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kindest Regards Marge and Parge I would assume an easy droppable mast if trailering, why would anyone want to be on northern rivers with a fixed mast for a couple weeks, too restrictive. If I'm wrong about the mast I would suggest southern rivers, talk to reedcutter at cantley about car and trailer as there's a slip there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Talk to the Reedcutter by all means but I think the slip is the responsibility of the Cantley Parish Council approach them -plenty of room around there for a car and trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Probably got confused as expand1t asked for locations between Wroxham and Acle so I assumed river but as a trailer sailer he could have meant by road. All the recommendations have been good to launch and recover even Eastwood Whelpton as they do their very best to help everyone.

MargeandParge Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago One more from confused. com is The Pheonix Fleet at Potter Heigham you would have to sail down The Thurne to get at The Bure but no over hanging trees or bridges. I've seen some fairly big craft launched and recovered best when the tides in. They are very accommodating if approached with respect and have areas to store your car and trailer. Ole Marge is about to poke my dinner through the bars so it's back in me box.. Kindest Regards Marge and Parge 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpand1t Posted 9 hours ago Author Share Posted 9 hours ago Thank you for your warm welcome and information, Yes mast is collapsible and i just love this area of the broads done it a few years on hire boats before 2021. Then fell in love with sailing and i have found the macgregor suited all my options with its outboard and low draft so I am hoping I will be able to go most places and enjoy a bit of sailing as well where suitable. probably will head down to Breydon water to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
