Just curious about the ramp its self as ive only used palmy and dinah beach ramp due to only having a commodore.
Also any pointer on middle arm?

Fairly steep and it has a concrete wall on one side. Plenty of parking. Can get a little sloppy when windy

Long and steep, probably a bit hard solo on big tides. Okay when calm but could be pretty hard when the wind blows straight down the harbour late in the in the afternoon as December approaches.

Don't try to retrieve at low tide in a commodore there, depending on size of boat anyways.
Seen a Daewoo cielo launching a tinny at Dinah once... Spun the whole ramp trying to get back up and only just made it

Middle Arm ramp is fine. Same as above, I wouldn't launch or retrieve on low tide with a commodore.

Re: Channel island ramp
I wouldn't say it is impossible with the commodore but that will depend on the size of your boat.
