Where to start. Bloke purchased boat, no idea. Towed into Newhaven by rnli. Other than walking away, muttering under your breath. What advice would you offer.

Well, if the Scapa Flow option is ruled out, try to sell boat - or give away

You asked for advice and now complain.

Been a few simular posts on boats of this size over the years and there is nothing cheap on the south coast. The rest of the UK also seems against live aboard which is what I assume that a 20m boat will be used for.
Could always anchor in the Solent and move according to the wind, but will require a decent dinghy, etc to get ashore for supplies, etc.

Well you have not give enough information to be credible.

I don’t understand what’s going on.

not too many cheap moorings for a 20m boat on the south coast, sailing or motor?

Somewhere shallow on a HW spring then plead ignorance that you did not realize you would be stuck for a while ?‍

The Littlehampton mud dock might be possible if the draught is not too deep and the boat can take the ground.

There is a Tug undergoing restoration there at the moment.

Certainly not complaining , my intention is to try and assist this boat owner. As I said " Other than walking away, muttering under your breath ". I recognise the owners a tad deluded.

If you really want contributions, more info needed.
Type of boat, state of boat.
Owner's financial state.
Does s/ he want to live aboard.
Does he want a project?

That would be a start.
