Planning ahead

When we had Robinetta surveyed at Cairnbaan one of the things that the report highlighted was the need to store her undercover over the winter in Scotland. It is not something we thought about doing further south, but it makes sense given that we can not get to her quickly. Undercover storage is at a premium, so needs booking early, so I started looking once we were back from Tobermory.

We were thinking of taking Robinetta to the Tarbert Traditional Boat festival, which meant she would be in the Clyde, so I looked at Silvers, and Fairlie. Silvers had room, but Fairlie was cheaper, and a lot easier to get to by public transport. Since Robinetta is small they have managed to squeeze her in, so we will be at Fairlie marine this winter. To the best of our knowledge she last visited the yard back in 1937!
