No, it was leased from the Harbour Conservancy by a guy who never actually bought a boat. He advertised last June on the Conservancy web site to see if anyone wanted it and unbelievably in December I was the first person to seriously take him up on it. I've just turned one down from the Conservancy in Emsworth Pool (just past Sweare Deep) for the Conservancy price of £360.00 a year. Talk to Adrian the moorings officer if you are interested. I know that there are moorings still available. If you have a fin keeler there are deep water moorings for £898.00 a year which is a damned sight less than £2000.00. The web page is here: http://www.conservancy.co.uk/water/moorings.asp . I have a bilge keel boat and only have access three and a half hours either side of high tide but for the money I am really not going to grumble. There a obvious plusses to being in a marina but for newbie sailors-on-a-budget like me the plusses aren't three and a half grands worth!
