I have a mooring on the river at Orwell YC upstream of the bridge so relatively sheltered but use a 10 ft ridgid tender as it has geat stability, I can get crew and kit to the mooring safely in one trip and it rows well for when there is a problem with engine. I saw a guy last year at Pin Mill...

Agreed I would recommend them- I have used them regularly for the past 8 years for new sails repairs valeting and storage

Further to a recent spate of groundings on the flats to the south of the entrance channel I was sailing in on Monday just as the sandbank near to buoy 6 was emerging ( chart drying height 1.3m) and the sandbank to the south of the low water lagoon (drying height 1.5m) was showing by about 300mm...
