Hi,
We're planning to get a small sailing cruiser, maybe 22'-25' for weekend sailing, and occasional longer trips. Before we get down to finding a boat, we need to decide where we're going to keep it. We're based in Aberdeenshire, and would welcome suggestions about the pros and cons of the various options:
East Coast - various options including Stonehaven, Peterhead, Arbroath. These would be closest, but probably limit us to day trips. Not much (any?) shelter along the coast. Some mooring quite cheap.
Tay - not sure whether there are any suitable harbours/marinas for yachting use
Forth - Port Edgar? Further away, more varied local sailing area, can't get them to tell me how much a mooring costs.
Moray Firth - nice area, again not sure how to go about finding a berth
Any suggestions, or feedback/correction of my notes would be welcome.
