It cost us only 9 euros a night in the marina at Calais for a 27 footer! I don't know what their annual charges are but at that rate I started thinking about it too.

Why think of France. There are lots of clubs away from the Hamble where you can get a berth very cheaply and join in the community spirit that marinas lack. For example, river moorings in my own club are free

You don't say where you are. Try this website: http://www.plaisance-opale.com. I know people who have shifted to Calais and Boulogne this year and they're very happy with it.

How about something dramatically different like 20 houras in a jet away from home. There are advantages like 80pound PA licence fee for a swing mooring costing about 400 pound to buy. No tides to speak of, totally predictable sunny weather Oct to May and an over valued English pound to a very undwer valued Oz dollar. Warm clear water and a weed on hull growth rate that is incredibly fast.
From the costs you guys pay and the conditions you get I reckon keeping a boat in oz could be cost effective but the best part is to avoid those UK winters. regards will
