Navigation Marks
A
new buoy near our race mark Juicy has been put at the mouth of the river
marking the entrance at low water. This is a red and white clear water buoy
with a white flashing light.
Buoys
2 through 14 are red cans. Numbers 2 and 4 (Dog Leg) to have red flashing lights.
Buoys
13 and 15 are green cones. Number 11 is the original spherical buoy.
Buoys
X were not installed.
The
existing perches no longer provide good navigation guidance and should be
removed.

Any one launching either at
Knightstone or Uphill Boat Services will be subject to the terms of a permit.
All permitted craft will carry identification and can be reported to NSC on

urgent public safety issues (quad bikes, boy racers etc.). There will be more
information available on http://www.n-somerset.gov.uk/
Here are details of the scheme:
The Knightstone launching permit will be
available from Weston Tourist Information Centre (TIC)
Please note all users of the Slipway to have an official permit in order to access the facility. You will be denied access if you do not have the correct permit.

your vessel
