Mooring for 40 footer

[Slow_boat]

Swmbo is trying to get me to buy a Victor 40. It draws 6ft and means we'll have to downsize the house again. I may still loose the agruement.

Does anyone know of a reasonable priced mooring for it?

Fambridge is very expensive, espesially as it's so far up the river. I'm told Rice and Cole have maintained moorings at £500 pa but they may not be able to accomodate a 40 footer. I'm waiting for them to get back to be.

Any other ideas, knowledgable ones?

Apply to ABP Ipswich for a private mooring on the Orwell.

I think ABP Ipswich can be dealt with direct but I believe prefer to sub contract management of different moorings to clubs/marinas on the river - mine is dealt with by the PMSC at Pin Mill, then Suffolk Yacht Harbour those further down, etc. I think there's a waiting list for most deep water moorings so best to find a waiting list to get on soon...

Rice and Cole was 1400 quid for my 35ft 3 years ago....and they won't be able to crane you over the wall.

We have a waiting list at Marconi but we're competitive on price and can sometimes lend a member a mooring in the meantime.

see the website on www.marconi-sc.org.uk and talk to Pete who runs our moorings

What a fantastic SWMBO you have. I wish she could influence mine to even come to the boat! Can't help on the mooring front I'm afraid.

Suffolk Yacht Harbour appear to have lots of vacant moorings this year, not sure of how they cost but I think prices are given on SYH's website.
