It would appear a visitor has damaged my boat,not a lot, but the rubbing strike has been ripped off and the ally u channel it sits in is damaged. No note or call to the Marina office. NOT amused!!!. CCTV hasn't caught anything unfortunately. Marina were excellent attending immediately and tried cctv to no avail.

How do you know it was a visitor? Is there any collateral damage on adjacent boats?

If you know when the incident occurred, discrete enquiries could throw some light on possible culprits.

Whatever, unless there were independent witnesses, a flat denial would still be the end of the matter. ☹️

Sorry to hear this. I'm only two berths down from you. A friend on B pontoon had his pushit badly mangled a couple of weeks ago, the culprit told the office and has paid over about £700 for the whole new pushpit and fitting charge. There are some honest people about.
Don't the marina know who their visitors are?

Hi,could be one of three evidently. Permanent holder is there now and it definetly wasnt him.
 
There was a heavy dutch canoe sterned yacht on pontoon A today (side facing B about 5 along) They did a fair amount of rubbing on the next boat. 3 guys on board & a lot of pulling & shoving, with bow thruster going the wrong way etc. Reminded me of the typical, know it all, blue flagged, peaked hat, red trousered, officious type, making a, " not my fault, it is the boats fault" manouvre :rolleyes:
(Not that I would want anyone to think that I am catagorising:rolleyes: , but you get the idea;))

Nothing like an even and balanced point of view.?
 
I have to disagree with the OP. A torn rubbing strake and damaged alu channel is not a small issue and could be an insurance job to get properly repaired. I have been an occasional victim myself, so he has my sympathy.
 
As a visitor to Bradwell (which we like very much) we have found that they pack visitors in when there is not really enough space! No excuse for the damage in this case of course..or for not owning up.
