berthing the boat in France 2012

[Bosun Higgs]

In 2011 we took a berth in the Helford for the summer and used that as a base. This coming year we would like a berth in France to use for the summer - say May to August. Nice it if were handy for ferry or Ryanair and cost is an issue. Boat is a 35 ft fin which makes me lean towards the atlantic coast rather than the channel..

Suggestions? Contact phone nos?

Roscoff or Morlaix.

As Gorf has pointed out, Morlaix will be one of the least expensive options. It offers perfect shelter and a nice town with most facilities. On the downside it is 5 miles inland and you will no doubt touch the mud a few times till you get into the swing of it.
The new marina at Roscoff looks a long way from being finished, though it may offer some limited optoions for the 2012 season and open fully in '13. It will probably be expensive, on the Trebeurden scale.

Looked at Morlaix - limited access (HW -1/+1) put me off.

Brest or Camaret?

There used to be a couple of British blokes in Camaret with moorings to let there and, as far as I remember, they offered transport to/from Brest airport (although I don't know if Ryanair go there)

RyanAir stopped flying to Brest last March.
FlyBe does fly to Brest - from Portsmouth and Birmingham.

Some 9000 new berths are planned at present. The waiting list is 68000.... (per this month's mag.)
