There is a classic type wooden sloop moored fore and aft at the end of the public pontoon at Wivenhoe, just above the barrier.
It looks as though it’s bow mooring has broken and so it is only moored by the stern. It normally lays bows upstream.
It has already swung out of its mud berth and I’m concerned that as the tide comes in it will swing and hit the pontoon.
I’m not sure if it the owner is a member of WSC, but I have emailed them as I thought someone ought to know. I called Brightlingsea Harbour Office but they said it was not one of their moorings and referred me to Wivenhoe Sailing Club.
If anyone knows the owner I think he would appreciate a ‘heads up’.
