ok - this is carrick roads in the uk - the average water front property here costs $2million - and this proves that with that money even a sportster le still has its appeal!!! - with its own slipway - its probably a tender to a 70ft sunseeker moored elsewhere

OK...
Call me stupid...

How does that "slipway" work. from the pic it looks like you send the boat down the rail type tracks, but that they end in that brown stuff..dirt? Is there a private cove behind the levee?

Thanks for your clarification.

Thanks for your clarification.

I'm here too, does anyone not have footage of some barefooting or wakeboarding?

The pic was crazy by the way,

the photo was shot at low tide - we have a 6-8m tidal range in sw england so at high water the slipway is nearly all submerged.

So can you launch the boat at low tide? Looks in the photo as if you wouldn't be able to get the boat in the water. I'm curious.

it depends on the ramp and how low, low water is on neaps its about 1-2 above chart datum on springs its about 0-1 meters above chart datum

some ramps completely dry out at low water springs and you cant launch

generally the ramp we use is ok - we have one further away which you can use at any state of tide.
