Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)

agree

SafeTex: Yes. One little point if I may. They are not necessarily ramps etc. Pictures on Google also show places on the beach suitable to launch a small boat (no rocks, favorable currents, not too deep immediately)

3 hrs

-> Thanks, I had a response last nite that didn't make it in here, but a agree that slipway isn't in the running.

disagree

Sven Petersson: The expression "Båtramper och iläggningsplatser" strongly indicates that the translation of "iläggningsplatser" can not be "boat ramp/slipway".

5 hrs

-> Naturally you miss my point. You disagree with 'correct' answers (mine or others'), and with reasonable answers (mine or other's), when you have answered. With 5 answers, you have one and 4 have 1 disagree from you. You are being irresponsible in this.

agree

Michael Ellis: I would translate the whole phrase as 'boat ramps and slipways at Sommen' . See http://boatlaunch.co.uk/default.aspx?page=display&nodeid=169... where the terms are used interchangably.
