I love those floating pontoon fingers - especially for low gunnelled boats.
Better than (sea/river) bed-locked wooded fingers where you have to (literally) dump your mum on the deck at very low tide - actually did that with my mum the first (and Only) time I took here out - OOOO - sorry mum ! You ok! (I was attempting to sholulder lift her into the boat and collapsed )
Ah well, bit of excitemt for an 82 year old
Not so good for a high gunneled boat though.
Looks like some serious unabiguous instruction occurring!

The new ramps looks good except for the far eastern side ramp where the jetty finger sticks out , can just imagine a boat stuck up against the rocks soon . Security well , been there quite a few afternoons and night in the last week and have seen security patrols all the time , so hopefully it will improve dramatically
couldn't reply my internet server has been up & down since Sunday with technical problems, just posted the ramp photos & it went till this morning.
depost80 Bosun hasn't said anything bad been happening down at the woodie ramps, security has stepped up & Blue Shed is putting in cctv & aiming for public ramp
Colin2 know how your mother felt, I'd have to get down on all fours to get in boat, don't want to know how I got out on very low tide, but a volunteer has made ladders and very good now.
feral1975 one of the jetties near the rocks (not sure which one) apparently we've heard might be a day/night jetty for repairs?
With all the new plans for there, the club is worried about boat traffic launch/retrieve. Bob seen the plans and if it goes ahead will be fantastic for local business, boat stackers, marine repair etc.

Security
What sort of security improvements have been implemented?
We haven't used that ramp in a while due to smashed windows!!!!
