Hello,
I'm thinking to buy a small <30' sail yacht (e.g. a Jaguar 27) to live on in the UK. I'm imaging that I wouldn't have a 'home' mooring/ berth.
How feasible is it to live-aboard on a sailboat in the UK living on anchor the majority of time? For example coping with storms, availability of free anchorages, frequency of provisioning at marinas/ harbours etc.
I'm curious about this as it will affect my budgeting a lot (free anchoring vs expensive moorings/ berths). The initial seasons sailing ground would be the West Counties (so mostly South Devon & Cornwall). Later I would be repeating the experience in other parts of the UK.
