Boat launching and registration:

The approach to the RWYC is through rather narrow and twisty streets, but experience shows that it is possible to arrive there successfully with a boat on a trailer. The northern approach from Rayrigg Road is the easier. If the gates are not open, operate the buzzer and tell the stewards that you are with the SBA. :015394 43106, http://www.royal-windermere.co.uk. If you find the approach to the RWYC too daunting, there is a public slipway at Ferry Nab, 10 minutes walk from the RWYC. Lake Wardens’ Office, Ferry Nab, 015394 42753, lake.wardens@southlakeland.gov.uk. Boats may also be launched at Fell Foot (National Trust) at the south end of the lake.: 015395 31273, fellfootpark@nationaltrust.org.uk. It will take you around 1½ hours to steam up to Bowness. Boats must be registered on Windermere: either £15 for renewal or £20 for a new registration payable at the Lake Wardens’ Offices at Ferry Nab or by post. http://www.lakedistrict.gov.uk/visiting/thingstodo/water/windermere_registration.
