I'm a bit further away (Dutton), by all means give me a shout if he can't get help nearer. I think there's at least one, possibly two slipways on the New Cut (Middlewich branch).

Why is it taking water? Does he need a dry dock, the only reason I ask (and yes I can be a bit stupid) is I thought the same once and panicked, turns out it was a leak from my water tank!!!

[Rod a mod from Tod]

Midway boats have a slipway and could perhaps get him out, but i am not sure what length they are able to handle. What type and length is the boat. Other than that Nantwich Marine have a dry dock but whether you can arrange something at this time on a Sunday is another matter. Good luck.

Nantwitch always seem helpful to me and are only a short distance away. Do you know where the leak is? Maybe you can bodge it to get through the night?

[alan_fincher]

Assuming you, (or more accurately your son), knows where it is leaking, and can actually gain access to it, it is fairly unusual not to be able to effect a repair that will hold for some time, and allow you more time to find a cost effective option for a full solution.

 

Do you have details of what the problem is, and how accessible the leak is ?

 

You may be surprised that some fairly "Mickey Mouse" sounding ideas might relieve a lot of the immediate worry.

Aqueduct at Church Minshull would pull it out for you, not too far away

he has managed to wire up a bilge pump to an extended hose that is now emptying the water as it comes in he hull and rises, he thought it might be a burst water tank but it has been going on to long , anyway the pump will se him through the night then i think there is a marina near by, any way peeps i will post further tomorrow
