Chicken and Egg

[tsekul]

New to sailing and here's the dilemma.

We are looking at boats but can't really get one till it has a home. Can't get a mooring as they need to know length, draft and keel etc.

I know we can get round it but.
Mooring first then boat or other way round ?

Waiting list for reasonable swinging mooring in Falmouth area can be years. Council pontoon..................................up to 12 years

Do they not have a range of moorings available?

I asked for the list of the moorings available on the Exe and having see the sizes that were available then could look at boats in that size range. Bought the boat then the mooring.

Have a word with the Falmouth Harbour Commission, they were dishing out moorings for this season only last Spring, no waiting.
