Emma and Horatio “Do it” again! Hooray!

On 9^th May our resident swans, Emma and Horatio, hatched their second successful clutch of signets. For most of the day Horatio was standing proud guarding the seven eggs as they hatched in the pouring rain. Today, Emma has her wings fully spread keeping the signets warm and dry on her seaweed nest at the top of the slipway. Hopefully in a couple of days we will give an update to the signets first swim.

Olympic Launch Celebration – Collective Spirit.

As you may have seen on BBC News, Collective Spirit was Launch in Chichester Harbour on Monday 8^th May.

‘Collective Spirit’ is a wooden boat which has been crafted by artists to mark the Olympics. What makes the yacht extra special is that it has been made up entirely of people treasured and donated wooded objects from a Measuring Ruler to a Guitar.  The boat was built in our sister marina, Thornham which is located in Emsworth, those lucky enough to see the yacht being built said ‘It was great to see the boat come together – there are so many stories and memories in it and it is great to see her finished and on the water.’

The boat is heading along the south coast to Brighton before she will be taken to the Olympic for all to see.

New Team Members

As many of you will already know, Lisa our Sales manager has departed to sunnier climes in Palma to start a new adventure. So to help us out in the office we now have two new team members to introduce.

Corinne is our new Sales Manages and will be meeting many of you when you arrive. Corinne has previously worked on HMS Warrior in Portsmouth harbour organising wedding and events as well as running a hotel or two in the beautiful Welsh country side. She is also no stranger to the local water as she previously owned a motor boat and helped with the local Sea Scout group.

Leah has also joined us as the new Customer Service Manager and will be the first smile you see when you pop into the office. She has a wealth of experience having worked in the marine industry since she graduated. As a keen sailor she spends as much time as possible on yachts or walking the South Downs Way with her family.

Feel free to drop in and say hello!

New Drystack Tiki Bar

Come and chill out at our new Tiki Bar at The Drystack.

We've still got to decorate it with some shells, coconuts and lights...but we think you'll agree this is another great addition to all the other brilliant services already offered at The Drystack.

So get your loudest shirt on and come on down to join us!

I can almost hear that Caribbean music playing!!

Thinking about giving your boat that extra bit of TLC before the season really gets going?

This spring, if you lift your boat out here at Trafalgar Wharf we will give you 30 days storage ashore absolutely free! That should give you enough time to get her cleaned, checked out and ready to go for the summer months and save you around £200 – just think how many overnight moorings that could get you in a quiet little harbour along the coast………

Happy Valentine's to all our boat owners

The boats got together and wrote this song for their owners to tell them
how much they love being stored here.

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day

Love from Trafalgar Wharf x
