Boat storage
Boat storage
Has anybody in the Essex/Hertfordshire area, got storage space for a classsic dinghy this winter?? (Would prefer undercover, but could cover the boat well enough to cope with frosts).......
I really would like the boat, but because of storage problems (I live in a flat, and in the deeds is written no boats or caravans!), if I can't find storage may have to turn it down. When I viewed the boat, I was hoping to put the boat in my parents garage in Cheshire, but circumstances have now changed, and I need to find a home for the boat for this winter, otherwise I would not consider a purchase.....
Failing that, I may have to borrow a boat for the Oulton Week spectacular next year, and I would rather sail my own boat...

Cheshire is quite big...have they extended the wings on a Blaze since I last looked?!jon711 wrote:

Jon is looking for space for an original cvrda boat - Andy H's old yellow Peggie Citrine. It would be great to see her returned to the fold!

Re: Boat storage
While at work (night shift this week), I live in Harlow, so I suppose I could expand the search to Middlesex or Suffolk....
(re the Blaze with the 100 mile wings - when I bought it, I did consider calling it "Always Ultra" as it had wings.. (Not sure my Mother would have liked that!!))

Re: Boat storage
Oh, no, now I've got the Bodyform jingle going round in my head. How could you do this to me, Jon?

Hi Jon,
Pvt me or give me a call on 07860 106641. Not certain, but I might be able to find some temporary storage if you get stuck.
Cheers

Hey Dave,
Have you made a new New Years resolution? What is this....no comments or replies to the views expressed on east coast horneting - or handicapping????
Surely not!
Will look for a viewpoint expressed on the banter page.
Meet you there

PS - are you around for a call?

Re: Boat storage
Back to being serious,
Back in the summer when I was repairing the floor of smokey bear (MR3025) and renovating a Contender, space was at a premium. Getting somewhere to work is crucial. Needs power too.... extra good lighting, easy 24hr access - not difficult but if you start paying per month you soon ramp up a big bill.
If you have to work on a 'bigger' boat (Osprey, 505 or FD) then you're scuppered! Ditto a wide merlin, they don't fit in normal garages with enough space to do any meaniful work!

Does it have to be in those areas?
Re: Boat storage
Boat storage is an issue for me too now the weather is turning wet. I have Agamemnon in the boat shed, but nowhere for the Marauder. I think I'm going to put a card in the PO window (yes, we still have one!) and see if anyone nearby has a garage, barn, shed, whatever, that will at least keep it dry.

Housing Associations will often rent lockup garages... We have three, although I'm trying to empty one at the moment...Nessa wrote:Boat storage is an issue for me too now the weather is turning wet.
