As 2008 dawns chilly and bleak we are yet again genuinely excited at the prospect of having a busy year helping to share the load along the banks of the Medina River for ashore-berthing and boat lifting services. The yard is full of boats being stored ashore, whilst there is still an area we have allocated for short term stays and emergency lifts. The availability of the 60 tonne capacity hoist for the bigger vessel is a good feature of the Yard, however we are keen to point out hat we accord the same quality and attention to all the vessels we attend to
South Boats are a tenant on the site and they continue to thrive and expand, they now have an order book full until 2010…..
The former FBM shipbuilding yard was acquired to launch the British America's Cup team GBR Challenge 2001 - 2003, and is now being transformed into a thriving boat yard at the centre of world yachting. With specialist boat builders and engineers close by, the largest travel hoist on the island, and undercover storage in Cowes, the Medina Yard is fast becoming the obvious choice for boat owners and businesses alike.
Over the next three years the Medina Yard will be developed into a secure and safe boat yard, working in harmony with professional marine businesses to set and consistently maintain high standards. Its aim is to create an environment that is both popular with the local community and welcoming for all types of boats, teams, owners and marine contractors.
The autumn weather is keeping boats afloat, hoping to get out for some pleasure. more >
