As from this weekend I'm officially retired and about to embark on a 20 year old dream. I'll be leaving the Hamble and coast hopping to Portugal, where I'll leave the boat for the winter. Mainly due to things I've read on this forum, I would like to 'winter' the boat at Lagos. I emailed the marina to ask if I could reserve a place on the hard. They responded very quickly and pointed out they only had berths on the water. They gave me the contact details of the yard next door. It is called SOPROMAR YARD. Does anyone have experience of 'wintering' their boat, on the hard, in this yard? Thanks in advance.
