Name of the Launch Location: Saltash Town Quay slipway, Saltash Passage, Cornwall
About the Area: This slipway is just a slipway from the road to the sea, and is next to a jetty which is used by locals. If you’ve parked on the road this is a good launch location, but only if Jubilee Green is full as that’s a better setup for the dinghy sailor.

Launch Information:
Costs to launch – free, it’s a public slipway
Launch facilities – just a concrete ramp into the Tamar River.
Safety Warning: Careful tidal planning is required if launching a dinghy here. There is the added hazard of a long jetty / pontoon bridge close by.
Many of the moorings in Saltash are on long trots, where a yacht is tied fore-and-aft, making long thin passages with no escape and need to be navigated with care.
Towing Vehicle Parking:
On the roadside or in Jubilee Green carpark.
Trailer Parking:
On the roadside with the car
Toilets:
Could not be closer – right next door to the slipway
