Ferry Point Slipway

All Photo's on this page can be enlarged by clicking on them.

slipway
This is the slipway approach road. During busy times, please keep this road clear to ensure that the slipway is kept uncongested. It will help reduce your wait if you prepare your ski/power boat before you enter this area.
Also when recovering, please do not park in this road either as you will hamper traffic. Please be considerate to all users of the slipway.


      Slipway Approach

slipway
This is a view of the Slipway from the Harbour Masters Office. The Ferry Boat Inn is directly infront of the camera with the slipway running left to right.
Incidentally, behind the camera is the access to the Hayling Island Ferry.
At high water, the tide reaches the striped barrier.

This Shot shows how long the slipway can get at low water. A 4x4 is launching a Power Boat but it is not necessary to have a 4x4 if you are launching Personal Watercraft or even some Power boats whlist on the slipway. The slipway is very wide and is of concrete construction. care should be taken however, during very low spring tides where the slipway runs to stones.
   


slipwayThis Shot is taken at Low water, during a spring tide. As you can see the slipway clearly runs out into stones. Caution is required here for owners of 2 wheel drive vehicles. If you manage to put your driven wheels on this beach area you may have trouble with traction. If you recovering when the tide is this low and your vehicle would have to drive the driven wheels onto the beach it would be best to recover with a rope to extend the tow to ensure the vehicle remains firmly on the slipway to ensure good traction.

Here are some examples of 4x4 vehicles that are beach launching and recovering. Do not attempt this is a normal 2 wheel drive car. Some people do and this provides excellent entertainment for customers at the Ferry Boat Inn who will be watching!

The ramp is wide enough to accommodate two vehicles. However, The Langstone Harbour Master recommends that only a single vehicle uses the slipway at a time. This is good practice and ensures everyone's safety. Please be patient whilst people carry out the relevant launch / recovery procedures.

A couple of shots of the slipway demonstrating the width and construction of the slipway. As you can see it is of a very solid construction having been an old ferry slipway in past years.
