Boat ramp fails

In what is becoming a trend for major NSW boat ramps, the FAIL scorecards they are getting are leaving communities gutted, tourism dollars out the door and many boat owners and fishers wondering why bother going out at all if you have to consider tides, siltation, lack of maintenance, serious injury, loss of your car and damage to your boat just to launch and retrieve.

It is evident that the current system is failing all the users and it seems the NSW Government is not too worried about fixing the problems.

A recent trip to Crowdy Head saw the RFA see first hand the issues of launching and retrieving a boat in this location at low tide...see the picture above.

Crowdy joins the growing list of boat ramp fails in NSW, such a sad outcome for such a beautiful and fishy place.

Keep sending your boat ramp fails to the RFA at and we will keep pushing those responsible to fix the growing list of fails.
