46°21’.12N 005°36’.28W
DESCRIPTION. A residential marina with some 26 visitors’ berths with a max LOA of 11m. Good shelter on the resident berths. During strong SW’lies some swell does enter the visitors’ berths which are situated to starboard on entering the marina.
APPROACH WAYPOINT. 46°20’.87N 005°36’.98W.
PILOTAGE NOTES. In heavy weather, beware of 11.3m shallow patch some 5M to the W of the marina entrance where large breakers may be encountered. If the heavy weather is coming from the W, it would be prudent to divert to a safer destination as heavy surf breaks along this coastline in these conditions. Given reasonable weather and visibility, the approach is straightforward and the breakwater entrance is well lit; however, the 3R & 3G posts in the approach channel are not. Vessels approaching the marina at night should beware of the unlit yacht racing marks ‘T’ and ‘P’ (PA).
TIDAL STREAMS AND HEIGHTS. Once inside the 20m contour of Whale Bay the tidal streams become weaker. The entrance channel is reported to have a least depth of 1.1m between the approach posts. The marina is dredged to 2m.

LIGHTS AND MARKS. The narrows of the breakwater are marked with Fl.R.5M (R twr) and Fl.G.5M (G twr). It is important to note that the R twr is not situated on the seaward extremity of the breakwater.

Rawmarsh Marina Northern Territories CHART RYA 3.
46°20’.33N 005°36’.12W
DESCRIPTION. Good shelter in the marina. The least depth on the approach to the marina is 2m. The marina is dredged to 2.5m. APPROACH WAYPOINT. 46°20’.66N 005°36’.57W.
PILOTAGE NOTES. The same heavy-weather and navigational warnings for Whale Bay Marina apply to Rawmarsh. If approaching from the NW the breakwater lights [Fl.R & Q.G] 131° may be used as ldg lts to clear the unlit racing mark ‘T’. Vessels approaching from the SW should be aware of unlit racing mark ‘P’. Apart from those noted, there are no off-lying dangers. The breakwater lights are both mounted on conspic W O twrs; the port has a broad R band and the starboard a broad G band. Shallow water (dries 2m) exists on the inside of the W bkwtr; vessels should therefore favour the eastern side of the entrance.
TIDAL STREAMS AND HEIGHTS. Within the 20m contour of Whale Bay the tidal streams are weak. The breakwaters shelter the marina completely from any tidal-stream effect. The least depth is 2m abeam the Q.G breakwater lt.
LIGHTS AND MARKS. The entrance is marked with Q.G.6m7M and Fl.R.2s8m7M lights on the seaward extremities of the breakwater. In daylight hours the conspic ‘Anchor’ memorial dominates the Rawmarsh skyline.
