Could anyone let me have the tariff for 2007/8, on an annual basis, please? PM would be fine. Thanks in advance.
 
Very droll....... But do you even know the answer?

Hope the short trip next week goes well. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Bet you would not have let it happened if he had gone for (another) of those sleek Italian jobs....... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Wonder how many other have a clue about this thread (and would they be right not to care!). /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif


But I still don't have an answer to the original (badly worded) question /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
 
This may be the correct answer to the second issue in the thread, but you would need to check with tcm to confirm. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Do you perchance know the answer to the original question?
 
Holy [--word removed--] that's dear! £4968 for my boat for the year or around £1850 in my "expensive" marina!!!
 
It was very comforting to read that they don't charge any extra for multihull mooring. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
 
Tightwad Yorkshire-style visitor gambits at Hamble Point Marina

Let's suppose you want to visit the hamble with a 50+footer, say 16 metres long. From the rate card shown elsewhere this shows a daily rate is £3.60 per metre making it £57.60. Arg. Is it really that much? Perhaps not.

The much cheaper option is thatyou ask to stay for four hours, which is 8 quid regardless of length. Continue buying blocks of four hours, six per 24 hour day, which comes to a slightly more reasonable £48 quid per 24 hours. I expect the harbourmaster will smile and accept your quick -witted proposal.

If so, this is the time to that tellim that, um, actually the main boat is 35metres long, and the big RIB on the hammerhead in which you arrived you arrived is the tender not the actual main boat which is still bumbling about in the solent - but that's still a fixed 8 quid for each short stay but length makes no difference, as agreed, remember? So still 48 per night.

Once this principle has been established, you can then advise that actually you don't need a full 24 hours - your overnight stay will be from 5pm to the following morning 9am, which is only 16 hours or 4 consecutive short stays, and hence chargeable at £32 for the night.

Hurrah.
