lol... would have got back to you earlier.....but.....
st helens and limburners are the two best ramps for a bigger boat, they do launch smaller boats of the sand at grammer school, the ramp there is bad at low tide so pick ya tides rite,
im happy to pay to launch at st helens its also the coast guards office, great facl.inc cleaning table bbq and toliets, its very well protected of all wind

Hi all,

Could anyone please tell me how much the fees are at St. Helens (and is it a machine u need change for)? I've never launched from there before although I did stop by once to have a look-see. There's a chance I may go out from either there or Limburner's on Sunday (depending on weather), but not sure yet. My boat's been out of the water for so long I think I need to wash the cobwebs off the trailer! :lol:

Thanks,

Thanks guys. Knew Limburners was free (launched there once), but wasn't sure about St. Helens. What, with all the plastic these days, I hardly carry cash, so just wanted to be sure I didn't get caught out! :wink:

Cheers,
