Sorry should of said"it's not my trailer i'm not launching in to that"i went down early morning to launch and retrieve my boat after adjusting and moving the rollers friday on one side as the boat just sits to one side and as people know if it's not quite right i will chase it until i'm happy so went down to st.kilda with camera in hand and after playing with my boat at the public ramp went into private club to see the ramp all clean and found this trailer camouflaged owner was not around to ask but i'm sure thay would want the weed problem solved along with many other ramp uses,didn't take photo's of there car or number plates but did chase a couple of pelican's building a nest and chucked a couple of blue swimmer crabs back that were lost,crab said was playing in the weed one minute the next i was hanging of a trailer winch and running around a car park.

that is a disgrace i certainly wouldn't be paying any fees to the club with the ramp in that condition, i agree with rick, they shouldn't need to be asked to clean it up they should just do it...if i used the same ramp every time i would consider a private ramp for safety of the car and trailer etc but seeing this has made me realize its prob better just to deal with the risks and kayos in the public ramps!

In my opinion the best boat club in S.A. What do you get for your money.Lock up compound,swipe card access, W C and showers,Access to club rooms,power and water on pontoon,power and water on hard stand,work shop and benches for any work you need to do,access to galley for your cooking needs.cheap meals Friday nights ,full bar Friday night,bar open Sunday afternoonSome of the think done this year, finished the compound fence ,installed 2 new ac on roof,replaced front veranda poles,clean the ramp, spray the compound for weeds,replace the decks on themaintenance wharf.all this for just over $5 a week.all, not some, all the work was done by the members for the members.thanks and happy boating.o and i will say again if you want to know anythingtalk to the committee you might be surprised what you find out.they are always around .

my ol man was a member many years ago and left for this very reason had no issues withe the club or the facilities except for the condition of the ramp time and time again we had to struggle to get the boat outta the water just alot easier to use the public ramp

I disagree with you skbtmb. There are two other boat clubs that are excellent without ramp issues & have very good facilities. Both 24/7 access & security. Fess are less as well. There is also a third one but I'm not a member of this one.

Maybe it would be more fair if the members who use the ramp got a good discount on their fees given the owners of moored boats don't t have to worry about it

A couple of up dates of ramp.

Far out...maybe membership should come with a can of bushmans,a pitchfork and a couple of bottles of roundup
