  1. 3 years ago our boat was berthed at Bobbin Head and a guy purchased a second hand 50 foot cruiser. He had no boat experience and the first day he had it he went out with a mate and got on the turps big time, came back in and whilst trying to berth it he hit 5 boats causing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage. When they finally got him in he was charged by the police and his insurance company wiped their hands of his claim. Now that was pretty dumb. Luckily our 47 was not hit.

    Wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. We spend a few days at a time on our boat and when we come to NSW will be looking at a secure storage facility where we can leave our vehicle and trailer that isn't too far from a marina. or decent boat ramp. At least a short taxi ride if possible. Looking at places - Port Stephens, Lake Macquarie, Brisbane Water, Brooklyn/Hawkesbury, Pittwater and Sydney Harbour.  We have to be mindful of the route as our boat/trailer is over width on a tri axle... so the bigger easy to get to ramps with a jetty/pontoon are ideal. Are there any short term storage facilities where people leave their vehicles and trailers? Boat/ship yards that supply this service? What do others do that have large trailerable boats who go out on the water for a few days at a time?  Quite happy to pay the going rate for secure parking.... just unsure  if and where these facilities are located.

  5. It is a bit weird. Usually these are just stress cracks and they inhabit only the top of the gel coat. Bit unusual to see so many running horizontal and close together, definitely looks like it has taken a blow of some sorts. Any marina will have a shipwright and they will take one look and know what to do, if you need to do anything.

    Although a seldom poster I visit often and almost feel cheated that the site will be taken away from me. Thank you wholeheartedly for the short time I have been able to enjoy this fabulous and valuable resource. 

    The site has been saved apparently.
