Yacht Club

Powering on and off the ramp

Mon, 2013-01-21 16:02

Powering on and off the ramp is the only way to get them to actually spend anything on it. 

Ramp controller ????   Are you the guy with the alsatian?

Don't get me wrong,the rules

Mon, 2013-01-21 20:38

Don't get me wrong,the rules are no power on or off clearly sighed at the ramp .This is the reason the ramp is in need off maintenance .I have a 7.4m Ali and winch her on, its not that hard.When you see some knob in his 6m boat sitting at 2000rpm for three minutes until his knob mate hooks up the winch cable, Lazy I think.and then there's the guys without a winch.. Who need to drive on. So if you want to power on and totally trash what we have left of a ramp then go launch at some other ramp.And that means Fw member also.

Boat ramp drive on

Tue, 2014-04-01 16:28

My only reasoning/defense for a boat driving on at this boat ramp is because it is such a shit ramp,too short for an extra boat to hang off and single laned,and with that some people just aint too hot at launch or retrieve,This is why the experienced boat operator might want to slip down the outside(there is enough room)and gently drive on,This speedens up the waiting game as on many occasions there some 30-40 boats all jostling for a bit of honesty turf in the water trying to patiently wait their turn at the ramp..I,ve been told that there wont be another jetty due to the Marina not having the parking capacity for another ramp and jetty...O.k then why dont they make the existing ramp another boat length so we can speeden up the process..I,ve been fishing there over 20 yrs and this is the first time any works been done to it with the fees paid by us all...

No going down the outside

Tue, 2014-04-01 17:38

No going down the outside anymore as I don't think the new ramp will be wide enough. We will all have to wait our turn .As for drive on off YES the new ramp will be drive on and off.

Yeah dissapointing

Tue, 2014-04-01 17:51

With the shit upgrade. Made a shit ramp worse. Agree with Paul some are good at powering on but most are not so for the sake of that heritage listed finger jetty probably best not to.. Just remember to have some beers on ice for the wait to get your boat on the trailer when that breeze comes in. :)

Yeah ive had a little sledge

With the guy that collects it. Told him its a disgrace that we pay 6 bucks for it. No wash down, No fish cleaning facilitys etc. Because its not council operated you wont get fined for not paying. And that upgrade is a joke, all the money they have made out of that ramp and thats the best they can do...I have looked a those pre cast panels they have put in and they will be falling apart in a couple of years 5 years max so by the looks they were instructed to do a quick fix.So i wonder what plans the owners have for it

 I think the tarif you paid

Wed, 2014-04-02 06:26

 I think the tarif you paid was $7 do you know if it has gone up, also has anyone not paid the fee and were there any consequences?

i agree it's disgrace pay your money for no wash down and a hell of a wait with only one lane!

Drive on/off

Tue, 2014-04-15 16:39

I cannot understand some people,why they are so weak that they are unable to launch & retreive their boats,we have power winches,multi gearred winches.easy roll on/off trailers, I can only think they are lazey SOBs,who have little or no regard to other boat users.I have seen small 4/5mtr boats pushed asside at Hillarys by people who drive on the trailer,fair enough if the winch is US but fix it and have some consideration . I would suggest all activities that can damage the ramps including these motor bikes on water,(jet skies) they seem to be above every one else.
