Thanks for your input Bod, access to Roydon Marina involves using a small bridge with a weight restriction. Thanks magnetman, Denton Wharf in gravesend looks a good solution to getting the boat into the water. They have on site a 70tonne straddle carrier that should lift my boat with ease. I am in contact with a canal boat delivery service that hopefully can take on the task of getting the boat to Roydon.

Thanks Paul G2. No offence taken. I have some boating experience from a couple of boating holidays on the Norfolk Broads, but will be Jumping on board with a huge invisible 'L' plate attached to my back. I am in contact with boat movers and intend on undertaking a helmsman course before I attempt to take the boat out unsupervised.

Wow .... i am overwhelmed with the helpful advise. Thanks to everyone that have posted so far. Keep it coming. Thanks for the website Blackrose. Thanks for the Info Bizzard.

Thanks Bod for suggesting Tuckys I will get on to them today for a quote and advice.

Valrene9600... yes this is my first boat. If its needed I will get assistance in moving the boat through waters with strong currents if it solves the other problems. Is Cassio a marina? are there crane facilities there capable of lifting a 32tonne boat 70' x 12'?

Thanks for that Lady Muck I shall look in to that.

I have been looking at the possibility of having the boat delivered to Kecksys Farm in Sawbridgeworth, but trying to find a reliable and sensibly priced crane company to take on the task of lifting into the water is proving to be a mammoth task. Those that do bother to get back to me are giving me quotes two to three times the price of the crane company at Thames and Kennet Marina.

Thanks Athy .... I would tend to agree and as you say my problems should be halved. Thanks Bod ... Its the plan B thats the problem. trying to find a crane company thats not going to break the budget is the problem. OldGoat ... It Thames and Kennet Marina. Getting the boat in the water there is fine. its what we do with the boat when its in is the problem( if the waters are in flood ). We need to get the boat to Roydon Marina Village along the River Stort.

Help. Having a new wide beam delivered (in the first week of December) to a marina in reading. On site drainage company happy to crane it into the water. Marina happy to allow us through their waters to the canal. Problem is if the waters are in flood or iced over I am not permitted to move the boat, or moor the boat as they do not have the room. I would really appreciate some advice? (First time using a discussion forum)
