Creil Sur Mer is a village at the eastern end of the Normandy coast nestling between tall chalk cliffs, the Club Nautique has a small clubhouse/workshop and a secure compound for cars, boats and trailers.
The coast here is challenging, the nearest safe harbours are Le Teport to the east and Dieppe to the west and launching is across a wide and steep shingle beach
Added to those challenges the tidal range is around 8 meters, so the club had laid this heavy duty runway and a cable winch for launching and recovery.
It all seems to work pretty well, our neighbor (of the house we were staying in) was out fishing most days taking advantage of the settled weather.
