Hello. I’m a certified watchkeeper at Felixstowe National Coastwatch Institution (NCI). In our watchtower we mark out the location of all the visible buoys and beacons around the Harwich deep water channel and River Deben approaches (Lat and Long, and Bearing and Distance from our watchtower)...
We berth at Woolverstone and are very happy there. I’ve been in contact with the manager, Kelly, and she makes the points that
Only half the current berth holders use the boatyard services there - the rest already go elsewhere
It’s not just a financial issue. I asked about raising lift-out...
Do check out capacity for hard standing if you want that over winter. We were havering last year between SYH and Woolverstone; both had berths, but we ended up at Woolverstone because it had hard standing space when SYH didn’t.
Now very happy there. Yes there’s The Tide Thing, but you get to...
Oh dear. Having just done that (to a fellow forum member whose boat we used to charter in the 90’s) I feel suitably chastened.
But a boat’s pedigree is interesting. A bit like genealogy.
