2.2.1 Peel Inner and Ramsey Old Harbour Key factors for improvement are the introduction of the following: Pontoon berths: The new tide barrier at Peel Inner Harbour provides security & protection from craft drying out. The next logical conclusion is to provide pontoon berths in a similar manner that has been achieved at Douglas. At Ramsey Old Harbour, a new tidal barrier would also be required. Sloping gangways / Bridges: The current wall mounted vertical ladders are difficult to climb for the elderly and families with children. Sloping bridges from the harbour wall to the pontoon would be safer especially when taking boating gear and provisions on board. Floating fuel stations: As suggested by the Yacht Harbour Association Ltd Code of Practice a floating fuelling station is a basic requirement for the resident & visitors. Environmental services: Provision for waste. Amenities: Secure high quality clean conveniently placed WC’s, Showers and ideally Washing Machine / Dryer for visitors. Secure parking: 130 spaces for Peel and 150 for Ramsey would be the requirement based upon YHA guidelines. Social amenities: Peel has the qualities of Padstow or St. Ives, and property surrounding the harbour is in the process of being upgraded. Support services: Ramsey already has a small cluster of support services to boat owners i.e. boat repairs / electronics and this might be a natural place to foster such services as demand grows. Ramsey could provide a sheltered commercial environment for support businesses, but it does not have the onsite critical mass required and would rely upon attracting boats from other locations. If practical the cluster of marine support trades should be encouraged to be closely situated alongside the marina and provided with a boat lifting and moving facility to provide the opportunity for larger projects to be undertaken. 12
