MORE than 200 metres of pontoon has been replaced as part of winter maintenance at Neyland Yacht Haven.

Local firms chipped in to help remove the tired pontoon piles and install new ones.

Over eight weeks, Falmouth Divers and Williams shipping helped with the work, while local companies offered staff and support to the marina, and affected berth holders.

Dale Sailing, East Llanion boatyard and Milford Marina offered winter storage to boat owners while a range of local marine companies supported the work including Granger Tubolt Ltd and Cleddau Marine.

Beggars Reach B&B also provided accommodation for the staff in the area during the project.

The project was successfully finished on time in the first week of March allowing berth holders to return to the Upper Basin well in advance of the new sailing season.

Neyland Yacht Haven extend their warmest thanks to everyone involved with the project, to the local community for their rallying support and, most importantly, to our berth holders for their assistance and cooperation. All the team at the marina are now looking forward to swapping their hard hats and high-vis jackets, for sun caps and lifejackets as the sailing season fast approaches.
