There's a distinct possibility I'll be moving to Cambridge for work next summer, and this probably would entail a boat move from N. Wales to East Anglia.
I've been looking at likely locations to keep a 27ft long keeler - mostly oriented around clubs and independent swinging mooring providers to keep costs down. Ideally I'd like a cheap swinging summer mooring and then a cheap winter pontoon berth.
So far I've found Pin Mill & RHYC on the Orwell, Brightlingsea Harbour and (possibly) Royal Corinthian YC at Burnham on Crouch (mostly because a distant relative designed the clubhouse!) for summer berths.
The Orwell is attractive as its the shortest drive from Cambridge and there's plenty of countryside to walk dogs. Most of the sailing would be day cruises up the river and along the coast but I'd like to get over the channel to the continent a couple of times a year.
Titchmarsh marina looks inexpensive as a winter berth.
Any other particular possibilities I might have missed? Is there any mileage in going North of Cambridge to the Wash? And how constrained is the Deben as a base?
