RichLech Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 There is a new marina on the Wey navigation now. It is at Send and called Cartbridge Marina. I think it opened for business early this year. Not sure has all facilities yet but there are boats in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frances doherty Posted September 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 That's good to know.... I'll have to figure out where we can put our boat into the water once it's done. It'll be coming up from Shoreham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulJ Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 I was down that wey a couple of weeks ago- the Wey windlasses are particulary impressive ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be coming up from Shoreham Considering the restricted area you are looking at, it may be worth while ensuring / booking / putting a deposit on a mooring before the boat is 'done'. I know its not in your planned area but the waiting list for moorings in some areas is excessive (Cambridge is 10 years for a narrowboat and just over 20 years for a widebeam and the council have now actually closed the waiting list) It would be a little inconvenient to roll up and say "we'd like a mooring please" to be told "come back next year".

RichLech Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Is it a cruiser or narrow Boat? Can't think of anywhere with a crane for a narrow boat on the Wey. TLC have a crane (for surveys, blacking etc.) but I don't think you can get a truck near to it to get a boat lifted into the water. Might be easier to get a narrow boat craned in on the Thames. If a cruiser would be easier. Pyrford Marina has a slipway. I think there is a public slipway at Stoke Lock. Not sure what new Cartbridge Basin has.

Mike on the Wey Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 The Pyrford slipway is quite shallow, but the Cartbridge slipway is newly built and a good depth. TLC do have space to crane in a boat from a lorry, ask them for max length/weight. Are you aware that Farncombe is on a river section and can be in flood and inaccessible for several weeks at a time?

And at the virtual end of Nav so you have to trundle 20 miles every time you want to escape the Wey. Nice though it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frances doherty Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Thank you for the useful info! Yes... I realise we'll always have to navigate that section... But we live in Brighton and can get there easily on the train in winter to keep an eye on it. .. Plus it looks like we can winter moor there reasonably. We are going to volunteer with the restoration group working on that canal so would like to feel part of it. This group is great for info (though the jokes are a little cheesy haha?!) By the way...

Mike on the Wey Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 TLC is The Locker Company, the name of the business at Parvis Wharf (Byfleet). The Wey & Arun canal and its restoration is entirely separate from the River Wey in terms of navigation and management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mention winter mooring ... are you aware that the National Trust require sight of an annual mooring agreement before an annual navigation licence can be issued? A visitor licence won't be appropriate for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frances doherty Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Ok.. Well I'll arrange what I need to do come the time. Got to finish building it first! As to volunteering.... It's all still part of the only network this part of the SE has so that's where we want to offer our time. Long project though it undoubtedly is Edited September 12, 2018 by frances doherty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frances doherty Posted September 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Thank you Mark! I'm just discovering how nice it is....
