South west mooring locations with no waiting list

[picardy]

I wonder if anyone can suggest a place to moor my 34 yacht in the south west where I can get a mooring for 2015. I am currently in a marina and am looking for somewhere that is sheltered and safe for around £1k -£2k per annum.

Many thanks

It would be worth asking Dart Harbour.

Winters Marine 01548843580. They had spaces earlier this season. Pontoon berths but not attached to shore. Secure car parking which is a godsend for Salcombe. You will need a decent tender to get into Salcombe though. Look for Lincombe Boatyard on google maps.

Helford have advertised regularly over the past couple of years.

Lots of possibilities in Plymouth. PM me if you would like a few suggestions.

Brixham Harbour Master has been advertising swinging moorings this season.

Are you looking for another marina?
Type of keel and what do you draw?

What kind of location(s) do you want? River mouth or up-river?

River Exe, you'd probably rent one for well under £1000 or even buy one still within budget.

Try Huggins bros on the Tamar.

Thanks for the comments. Sorry should have said. Boat draws 1.6m with a fin keel. Prefer quiet river location.

I know of a currently unoccupied mooring in South Wales.
No questions asked, I'll let you 'ave it for a song.

Weir quay boat yard or Cargreen yacht club both nice locations.

Depends what you mean by quiet, but Huggins moorings are very secure (having a 24hr police patrol) and an hourly 'taxi'.

Try Tamar River Sailing Club. They had fore and aft moorings available early this summer for yachta up to 34 feet. Unfortunately my boat was too long when I enquired.

Also try Saltash Sailing Club. They also had moorings available.

Bear in mind that club membership is required and most clubs give priority to local boat owners.

You have to be kidding. There is a 5 year waiting list.
