Launch Information:
Costs to launch – free, it’;s a public slipway
Launch facilities – it’s a wide concrete slipway, facing East and therefore a windward, sheltered shore for South to West winds. A large, flat space is provided for sorting out the dinghy before launching, and dedicated parking for vehicles with trailers.
Safety Warning: Careful tidal planning is required if launching a dinghy here. There is the added hazard of a long jetty / pontoon bridge close down stream.
Many of the moorings in Saltash are long trots, where a yacht is tied fore-and-aft making long thin passages with no escape and need to be navigated with care.
Toilets:
Just beyond the base of the railway bridge, about 100m South of this slipway is a set of public toilets.
