woulda guessed it was about 2 hours, its rather shallow over this side and where we would be, mainly mud also, but shouldnt be to bad ( hopefully )

although i can sail before the two hour mark ive found it easier as im not trying to negotiate mooring lines of other vessels ! do you know if we have bank accsess all the way around the eastern side of langstone ?

offshore1987 · « **Reply #27 on:** February 22, 2012, 04:21:34 pm »

Yes we do have bank access, its just like a normal stone beach for most of it, but there are a few places where you can not get access to the water, for a good 150 yards ( a built up walk way with a stone wall to the sea below

Next time me and my gf go for a walk down there i will take some pics to show what its like, this is why we really do need someone on the water, because if a boat had a problem along this part, you would never be able to get it back from the land

A good place to start from woud e the little sailing club at the bottom of locksway road, theres a pub with a carpark right by the shorline so we could park there and start right at the waters edge :)

would also be good to have somebody with transport at the end to be able to drop people back to their cars at the start point ! ive only driven into the car park once but didnt get out of the car due to the inclement weather . its not an area ive been for a walk around yet

duno about having someone at the other end to bring people back lol spesh if they have large models boats, would need to be a van, or we head back before peoples models go totaly flat

offshore1987 · « **Reply #31 on:** February 23, 2012, 01:07:23 pm »

Yeah well up for it, dont mind either being on the water or to brng a boat, can do either :)

krafty its your idear, was just addin some input

Is their anything else we need to sort ou for this?

ben hall · « **Reply #32 on:** February 23, 2012, 05:40:51 pm »

Time date ....... How many people want to come

triumphjon · « **Reply #33 on:** February 23, 2012, 06:42:32 pm »

ben i think offshore had a date in mind for june 9 th or 10 th as it has good height of water ( 4.4 m & 4.6m ) and the tide is at full 1605 sat or 1654 on the sunday . as im normally sailing in the harbour i can normally sail upto two hours each side of the full tide , which would give us a start time of approximatly 1400 hrs . jon

offshore1987 · « **Reply #34 on:** February 24, 2012, 11:15:38 am »

The time is set by which every date we use because of the tides

umm i guess if we say 9,10th june try to be down there at 1330? Come if you want, dont if not lol

its hard to get people to sign upto it on here because some people will drop out and others might fancy just turning up

triumphjon · « **Reply #35 on:** February 24, 2012, 06:25:12 pm »

it could be usful to have an indication of people wishing to take part , maybe we could organise something between each other ? jon

offshore1987 · « **Reply #36 on:** February 24, 2012, 06:33:02 pm »

Can do, though i dont wanna take over from krafty it was his idear :)

triumphjon · « **Reply #37 on:** February 24, 2012, 07:44:55 pm »

thats fine , we all need to be organised , its no good expecting to be a run if its cancelled at the eleventh hour ! ive two seaworthy sailers , along with a couple of faster electric cruisers , i also may have acsess to a small rowing boat , jon

offshore1987 · « **Reply #38 on:** February 24, 2012, 08:07:58 pm »

Got a couple of yachts could use, but will probs use my mfa spearfish if i bring a boat, if not then will either be in my kayak or air deck tender :)

I like the spearfish because it copes with all weathers and if very good in a chop

triumphjon · « **Reply #39 on:** February 24, 2012, 08:12:16 pm »

mines a spear and currently still under constrution !

offshore1987 · « **Reply #40 on:** February 24, 2012, 08:15:05 pm »

they are a very good sea boat, had mine out in 20 knots of wind with a 5 foot swell before was rather fun

Dont worry bout that just give me the info of people you now who want to come decide a definate date and te and we can meet up a

)nd see how many people are there I have two boats a miradighny a rids and possibly a canoe for towing boats so if people turn up and are willing to be water born they can borrow one of mine

triumphjon · « **Reply #42 on:** February 24, 2012, 09:25:29 pm »

ben , i think a chase boat type event would require you having some form of public liability insurance , it would therefore be easier to follow your model on foot along the shoreline , with possibly one rescue vessel on stand by " just in case " jon

ben hall · « **Reply #43 on:** February 24, 2012, 10:11:18 pm »

thats what i meant but if there is a big turn out we mite require more than one safety boats i do have a plan if there are enough participants to have one kayak and a bigger boat the kayak would scout ahead slightly look out for slightly under water obstructions and also if means be a quick response vessel and the bigger one mainly for rescuing and brining the boats back to shore

triumphjon · « **Reply #44 on:** February 24, 2012, 10:35:28 pm »

a bigger rescue boat would ideally need two people to operate it safely , one helms person ,one to retreive models as required ! it then also has the possibility of running out of water when the tide has turned .

ben hall · « **Reply #45 on:** February 24, 2012, 10:47:50 pm »

one step ahead of you i can man the big boat myself either with paddles or motor with a boat hook and a net and an anchor so once the hook has the boat i can chuck the anchor or drift ondepending how heavy the boat is and pick it up if any one dosen't want me touching there boat they can put a strong fix point in and i can tow it in with me in my boat the boat draws only 12/13 inchs drought and i have waders and have walked out on the mud there before (not on my own) and the boat has a sleek hull so if it comes to it abandon ship and pull her to the shore considering she shouldnt actually be that far out or tie it up and come back just before the water reaches the boat

offshore1987 · « **Reply #46 on:** February 24, 2012, 10:51:39 pm »

if its a massive problem, can just use my kayak it only draws about 3 inches at the very most, its a wide beamed one very stable, ovb someone could always wear waders? most of the shoreline we are going to be using is only 4 feet deep at high water

ben hall · « **Reply #47 on:** February 24, 2012, 11:50:14 pm »

my boats draft is a rough est an at most est im shore it will be fine but so far there are only going to be 3 people and 2 boats

offshore1987 · « **Reply #48 on:** February 24, 2012, 11:52:50 pm »

thats a good start

ben hall · « **Reply #49 on:** February 25, 2012, 12:30:03 am »
