Bosham Quay

I see on the Manor of Bosham website that they will no longer allow "modern flybridge motorboats" to use the dockside for visits or dropoffs, or the visitor moorings for short stays.
My enquiries have led to some incredulous and unreasonable thinking behind this decision by the estate management.
Blocking the views from the sailing club terrace, safety issues, environmental impact and carbon footprints are all listed.
Can anyone throw any light as to why specifically "flybridge" vessels are now outlawed?

Cheers, can see that now. I guess the sailing club is "sailors only" and they don't like stinkpots ! C'est la vie.

Flybridge only ban……take a class 1 offshore racing cat there for lunch…..get v12’s revved up ?

Plenty of "stinkpots" (your phrase not mine.. ) without a fly bridge, though... so is it a height/size thing???

No, it's a snobbery thing.

Fag boats with helmspersons resembling Caroline Munro presumably still acceptable?
