i can't see anyone using it as there isn't any parking for your car and trailer. don't forget that there is a boat ramp just up the creek at albion, i've never used it before, always looks empty.

that ramp is used by the padlers that store their boats in the park next to it.

I have looked at it, and have heard of people using it......the parking is a bit of a trick though.

apparantly there is quite a drop of at the end.........so its a bit of a problem on a low tide.

have a look at the sailing club ramp on the other side opposite whitworths too.

cheers

Agree with the boys who have said the one opposite Whitworths is better, it has parking for a start.

I have a 5.3m boat and have only launched there once, it is very muddy from about halfway down, this is a really soft light mud and sicks like buggery. I would recommend a full tide launch if in a larger boat, the only other drama with this ramp is that you have nowhere to really pull your boat up when parking the car.

Cheers,
