Access to the moorings launch - Low Water
Low tide access to Moorings
Due to the marina's insurance restrictions, we have been informed that no-one other than marina staff can access the marina pontoon for the next few weeks. You are advised that this may cause delays in getting on and off the club launch to access your boat on the moorings around low water. As normal please use channel 37 (M1) to find out where to meet.
Please bear with us as we work around the changed situation following the marina devastation.
