I bought a boat through Ancasta, I would have thought they would be a bit smarter than they sound. They must realise they need to pass on these ex-dream boats to us lesser mortals. These boats don't suddenly begin to use less fuel because the boat is cheaper. Therefore they will be needing to find punters for secondhand boats that use a lot of fuel, these owners will think £2k is a bl@@dy lot of cash.

My thought exactly, the inferance brought to mind the quote from Gerald Ratner about the jewelry his stores sold and the type of people who bought from them.

I am not resolving this well at all.
My moorings go up by about 6%
My berthing overnights goes up by 6%
My Chandlery goes up by about 5%
My insurance goes up 10%
My fuel goes up 100%
My council tax goes up 12%
My electricity goes up by 35%
My gas goes up 35%
My mortgage has gone up by 8%
Who knows what the real cost of a Gordon budget makes my taxes go up by????
My salary has gone up 1.2%
SWMBO's salary has gone up 4%
Now, the question is, can anyone point me toward anything that is ONLY rising at the Government skewed inflation rate of 2.4%?

We do not have the luxury of comparing the increase in fuel cost with berthing etc we have to add them all together!

I recently read a copy of Yachting World, a glossy mag full of superyachts, tanned professional racers and Rolex adverts. These sound like the words of someone who actually lives on that planet. Wherever it is. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
