just out of interest how much do you pay to moor your boat. i'm only asking as our club has just put up its fees and many of the members are complaining. i just thought it might be interesting to see what everyone else pays.

we pay £225 for the year for any size yacht (although over 30ft is difficult) so can't see many people paying less.

Thanks
 
wow all those are cheap /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif we pay five times the greater value for a year's mooring in the solent /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
 
It depends on what you mean. In our part of the loch, we all have our own individual moorings, laid and maintained by ourselves, or a contractor. We have to be regisrered with the Crown Estate, and pay the queen something like £40 a year. Well, she needs it, you see.
 
None really fit my situation .. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif ... my cost is what I charge myself .... I maintain it ... and what size boat is again what I allow myself /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I moor to my own private pontoon at back of my house in a private offshoot of the river that leads to the Baltic.

This year it will probably cost me about 150 quid. As I have to rebuild my pontoon to new design to fit with the summer home that will be placed on the bank. A 'Captains Decking' going out to bank edge from the summer mobile, couple of steps down to fixed lower decking with 2 of my 4 boats alongside.

Yes - I'm very lucky and I'm not giving it up for anyone. It's been a dream of mine ever since I was a kid and a friend of the family lived in a house on the Thames with his Gentlemans River Launch tied up at bottom of garden. I loved that place and his boat ...
 
You question- where is your mooring ? is tiny bit limited - mine is in Inkoo Finland

East Coast river swinging mooring, £75/yr but had to have mooring laid for £1500 which I own, then annual maintenance of £45 + cost of any bits that are replaced. But did have to wait 7 years for it!
 
In March PBO P15 you may have seen a response to the previous months article about marina fees in the UK. It came from the owner of Wicormarine above Portsmouth harbour Mr Waddington. This is where I have a swinging mooring for my 28 footer. Nowhere is cheap on the South coast unless you live in the confines of certain parishes such as in Lymington and you've been on a list for centuries and know the right people, or you are in the right yacht club and have waited on a long list for years and again know the right people.
My swinging mooring fees are a little less than those stated for a deep water pontoon mooring for a 30ft yacht which would be £2640 a year which includes lift out powerwash, winter storage and lift in.
I can access my boat and have water under the keel at all times.
 
LUXURY!

We used to dream about a muddy ladder and a stretch of riverbank....

.....'course we had it tough.....we had to slide down slippery rope, into us boat an'tut skipper would thrash us within an inch of us lives with cat'o'nine tails!

Sorry......about £450 mooring fee plus £300 harbour dues for a 29 ft boat in our part of N wales
 
for my £225 a year you get a jetty to moor alone side and access 1.5 - 2 hours either side of high water its at the skegness yacht club in the wash.
 
Another Wash sailor! We're a bit thin on the ground, goes with the thin water I suppose! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
That's a spot I've thought about for a while.
Is it possible to use the channel on neaps? I've got a draft of about 2.5ft.
