Mutton Cove slipway	The slipway is free for public use for the launching and recovery of boats. It is best suited to boats being launched from trailers towed by four wheel drive vehicles. It is relatively steep and can also be slippery due to the nature of the cobbled surface. Located at Devonport, map grid reference SX 4524 5400 A 7 metre wide cobbled public slipway Provides access to the water for three to four hours either side of high water The harbour will dry out at spring low water tides	www.plymouth.gov.uk/muttoncoveslipway	245249469	54000592
Commercial Wharf slipway	The slipway is free for public use and is best suited for the launching of sailing dinghies, canoes and small craft. Cars may access the slipway for launching and recovery but this is not recommended due to the steepness of the ramp. Located at Barbican/Sutton Harbour, map grid reference SX 4829 5379 A 10 metre wide cobbled slipway Provides access to the water at most states of the tide At low water springs the slipway flattens out and becomes mud for a distance of approximately 30 metres. This only occurs when tides are at their very lowest	www.plymouth.gov.uk/commercialwharfslipway	248296359	53792792
Elphinstone Slipway	The slipway is free for public use for the launching and recovery of most small boats including those launched from trailers. Cars may access the slip for launching and recovery but should not be left parked on the main slip. Launching trolleys can be left against the sloping eae slip as long as they do not obstruct any of the slipway. Located at Barbican/Sutton Harbour, map grid references SX 4829 5379 A 6 to 12 metre wide L shape slipway. There is a flat section at the turn of the L which is awash for an hour either side of high water. Provides access to the water at most states of the tide At the very lowest spring tides there is an exposed disused sewage pipe. The slip flattens out to mud extending for 10 metres at the lowest tides.	www.plymouth.gov.uk/elphinstoneslipway	248310457	53736740
Mount Batten main slipway	The slipway is free for the public to use for the launching and recovery of most types of vessels, including those that are towed. Cars should not be left parked on the main slip. Located on the Mount Batten Peninsula, map grid reference SX 4884 5318 A 15 metres wide public slipway Provides access to the water during most states of the tide Times with restricted access to the water are one hour either side of low water spring tides. The bottom of the slip is visible when the sea level drops to 1.3 metres above low water spring tides. As the slip has a relatively gentle slope vehicles may need to reverse into the water for launches in order for the vessel to draw enough draught to float from a trailer. This would make launching any vessels with fixed fin keels difficult. 1.5 metres from the end of the slip there is a ramp with an increased angle. The slip can prove very popular, with congestion at peak times such as weekends and holiday periods.	www.plymouth.gov.uk/mountbattenmainslipway	248866062	53258207
