Sports / Fitness / Recreation | | English term or phrase: boat hard | Bonjour,
Dans le passage suivant, je ne vois pas comment traduire "boat hard" :
"The University Boat hard is situated on the River Itchen with access to Southampton Water and the famous tidal sailing waters of the Solent. The boat hard has ample storage space and secure premises where visitors can enjoy a tranquil setting and yet easy access to the open tidal waters of the Solent. Facilities at the boat hard include a pontoon, landing areas, slipway, drying rooms, male and female changing facilities with showers, workshops and a functional classroom with audio-visual facilities."
Merci pour vos idées ! |

I feel sure this best describes the kind of place this is, though I would leave off the 'couverte' part.
Have just been looking around a bit at FR rowing sites, and found this one which seems to use the same term:

In nautical terms, a 'hard' is an open space (originally, a special kind of device) for taking boats out of the water to work on them — cf. nearby Buckler's Hard, also in Hampshire.
Buckler's Hard
Buckler's Hard is an 18th century village, part of the Beaulieu Estate, where ships from Nelson's navy were built, as well as a marina leading to the Solent.

The core meaning is that of an open space for pulling boats out of the water; the presence or absence of any buildings etc. on the site is purely incidental, even though in this specialist meaning of 'the operating base of a rowing (etc.) club' they would obviously be expected. |

Explanation:
Bonjour!
"Clubhouse" should be intelligeable in modern French. Why not make "boating" implicit via your whole sentence construction.
