Walk-ashore berths with a boat hoist or crane in England

Berths you step off onto a pontoon, quay or bank: no tender, no rowing out to a buoy. Easier for loading, for a dog, and for getting aboard after dark. Sites that can lift your boat out on their own hoist or crane, for blacking, antifouling, surveys and winter ashore.
