![]() ![]() I was on another squadron at the time (possibly with Ramona) so we had a laugh at their expense. Yep, the pilot was LCDR Mike Lehan (ex Royal Navy) as I recall (although Dick Snell rings a bell as well). The slipway closes at 10pm but offer secure parking and chain down points for your trailevr. The ship launching slipway, a structure consisting of a sloping way down to the water from the shipyard, is an essential aspect of the ship launching procedure and has been extensively used for launching newly made or repaired ships. Yes, the sign will puncture a Wessex fuel tank if you try to land on top of it and spill hundreds of litres of kero all over the mountain top. The slipway is run by the Park Authority and the ranger service. The ladders The infamous bus stop sign on top of Pigeon House. If you ever go to climb Pigeon House Mountain behind Milton, there are three sets of ladders that need to be scaled and not one of those has a safety cage around them. It's actually amazing that this is allowed in this modern day OH&S PC correct world. Whatever you do, don't let the OH&S police find out about this, they will want to shut it down. Fitting Mesh as you suggested would make things a lot safer though come at a slight, but worthwhile, cost of making slipway maintenance and clean up more difficult. Yes it is a good 800mm to the ground so I do take great care when moving about as you could potentially hurt yourself if you fell. The Ulladulla Boat Owners Association welcome boats from elsewhere. The slip is well maintained and has an excellent water blaster. Prepare fenders, a paddle, mooring lines, and dont forget to replace the anchor cap Connect the fuel line, open the fuel valve and prime the fuel system. Worked on Fitting Kits FK - 29, FK - 3 & FK 30. Excellent parts along with a great instruction manual & drawings. All parts checked out against the enclosed list. To get out of the water you need the tide height to be at least that of your boats draft. Received my Aziz Kit from Model Slipways yesterday & went through the contents. 2 years ago I repainted the topsides and lay planks between the ladders on the slip uprights this worked really well for me. Warlock is 36' and I do need to use a ladder at the stern. ![]() There are plenty of planks available to lay down though care needs to be taken when moving about. A boat slip is more like a single parking space for your boat. Warlock draws 1.4m and I have no problem applying antifoul. ''Hi TKNick From your photo it looks like it would be difficult to work on the boat while it is on the slip with the rails being elevated above the ground and all the gaps to fall through Is there a reason for them to be above ground level ? The only one i can think of is when you wash or sand the bottom of you rboat off off all of the debris can be trapped in the bottom of the pit but even if this is the case they could have had a mesh floor at rail level Regards Don'' Hi Don, The height of the rails above ground works well for me as it allows me to stand up between my keels. ![]()
