Sailing Away 0 Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 I need to launch my trailer sailer single handed on the Waitemata. Looking for a place I can launch, tie up while I park the car and then set off. Any recommendations? I'm fairly central in Auckland so closer to CBD is better.

harrytom 253 Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Bit of a drive but you will be the Firth of Thames quickly.KawaKawa bay boat ramp,pontoons,breakwater and staff to help to help tie up vessel and lend a hand to launch/retrieve. $20 for use of ramp.Well worth it.

Black Panther 636 Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Or join weiti boating club. Own ramp and mast up storage. That would make up for the travelling time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi_jon 9 Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Half Moon Bay public boat ramp. Does get hellishly busy and car/trailer parking can be at a premium if you are not early. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gisywaterboy 1 Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 +1 for Kawakawa, bottom end is right there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
czp497wj 0 Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 (edited) Single-lane concrete ramp into sheltered Leigh Harbour. All tide, all weather with designated trailer parking (five slots) and 300m of roadside parking. No charge to use the ramp NICE SNAP BLACK NICKEL - NSBN-X . Ramp can be tricky, especially at high tide, when there is little room to manoeuvre a trailer. Edited November 26 by czp497wj Quote Link to post Share on other sites
