Latest News!  Slipway down to low water

Some 70' of extra concrete and stone have been laid to take the slipway to spring low tide! This is an exclusive slipway for Brightlingsea Boatyard.

This means good news; Park and Ride will be exclusively operating from our slipway. We will no longer be using the town hard. Huge time savings and efficiency gains will mean that there will be shorter waiting times.

We are now starting to put in the dinghy rack store to the left hand side of the top of the slip, from which we plan to lay a floating jetty for the ease of park and riders in tying up and coming ashore.

There may be two or three occasions per year at very low spring tide, where they may be half an hour or so wait before recovery. Usually these tides occur very early in the morning or early evening.
