New boathouse ramp Print E-mail
As part of the works to replace the promenade wall at Whitley Bay, North Tyneside Council are providing us with better access to our boathouse unit.

The new ramp
The new ramp
The boathouse was previously only accessible by a set of steps which were only half the width of the doors, and the wind always blew the door shut on the steps side leading to some interesting gymnastics to get in and out.

This was compounded by the fact that the doors themselves were not very high, so everyone over 5' had to stoop to get in - or on numerous occasions forget and receive a glancing blow to the head.

All these problems are now being solved, as the contractors completing the works have moved the doors to the middle of the unit, lifted them higher up, and are now building a ramp to access the boathouse.

The ramp will be an excellent new facility for NSVL, allowing us to launch rescue craft (and in the near future hopefully rescue boats) much more easily.
