How much space would you expect fore and aft

[volvopaul]

I find them the easiest place to moor, even in the strongest current. Give me 1m no problem. Never had any problems with the bridge either, and only once had to wait for spring low to pass when returning. The reason is that we have an outdrive so can pull sideways, like a stern thruster. And, we are lower. In summary, I think they are ideal for our type of boat - low and outdrive.

The only problem with my 1m is that I cannot lower the dinghy to fit the engine etc.

Other observation - they tend to stay full regardless, possibly as they are cheaper.

Not deliberately trying to boost them - I will be leaving for other reasons - but maybe horses for courses.

Which marina are you currently at?

Eastlands.

I assumed that is the one you referred to, given I think you were there before, previous discussion about impact of bridge, strong tide, it being cheaper, boat spacing and security issues. Seems my guess was wrong?
