South Coast - Cheap boating option

[ylop]

Foulks might be an option - mid river berth is bang on my top budget. Will need a tender - but at least it's a "proper" berth rather than a swing or trot.

Have you experimented with swing v what you call a “proper”, presumably mid river pontoon? That seems to me like the worst of both worlds! When we moved from marina to swing we realised that the time you lose in the dinghy going to the mooring cancels out the time you save not adjusting fenders and fore/aft/spring lines etc.
