I would be most grateful if you could spare the time to PM me; I have a few questions not really pertinent to the open forum.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.
Anybody on a mooring at Pin Mill?

I am not on a mooring at Pin Mill but have been thinking about it as a cheaper option - who manages the moorings? I asked at Levington and the cost there was more than I am paying for a pontoon berth at Brightlingsea!

I asked at Harry Kings ( www.kingsboatyard.co.uk ) last year and was told there was a waiting list for deep water moorings , don't know if its still the same tho ....

Had a reply from Kings. Yes there is still a waiting list but it isnt very long. Cost afloat for Karouise is about £40 less than B'sea but admittedly the afloat season is 2 months longer so need to calculate the winter storage saving to see if it is worth it. Then would need to find a suitable dinghy etc.

I am going to have a chat with Kings and find out where the mooring is, if it comes available. So may well be interested in dinghy! Thanks.

Dinghy is £16 pa kept on the common; organised by the Parish Council. Link on their website.

If you keep the dinghy on the common then you will have to park in the "pay and display" car park.

Dinghies free at Kings if mooring with them

Thanks to those who replied, very helpfully, to my request and subsequent questions.
The setup at Kings seems to meet all my requirements - friendly and efficient, flexible, considerate, mooring available, storage, dinghy park and somewhere to dump the van! All at a very fair price.
Looking forward to May and the summer(!)

Had an email from Sarah at Kings to say there is a deep water mooring available.
Costs for afloat / ashore at Pin Mill are about the same as I am paying at Brightlingsea so there is no financial benefit. Decision time once I know the detail of the mooring's location.
Change of scenery would be nice but I also like the security to know that the Brightlinsea Harbour Master and team are keeping an eye on the boat when I am not around.
