There are drying out berths within the Inner Harbour which are available to use providing a booking has been made with Brixham Harbour office. On average all inner drying out berths are 2 – 2.5 metres above chart datum. All berths must be booked through the Harbour office where the tidal restricted areas will be further explained. The types of drying out berths are as follows:
Scrub pad (Concrete slab): This dry berthing is suitable for flat bottom boats, bilge keels and fin keeled vessels.
Outer grid (Wooden beams): The outer grid is suitable for larger vessels with long keels as the beams on the seabed are placed roughly 8ft apart. All vessels drying out on this berth must bear down on at least three of the wooden beams, any less bearing points could cause stress to the vessels keel. Due to owners safety fin keels are not permitted on these grids.
