Stour and Orwell - best anchorages?

From past experience I would not trust any of the Wrabness moorings for anything larger than a dingy.

I've just had to google that acronym!

I don't think the outer mooring trot is necessarily going to be any better or worse than the inner ones - possibly laid for larger boats, but consequently harder and more expensive to lift and check.

We have often picked one up for a lunch stop, not sure about overnight though.

Of course, if anyone does accidentally damage a mooring, I'd be happy to pass on their details to the moorings master to ensure the owner doesn't end up out of pocket over resetting it!

It was an OGA meet in the eighties. I didn’t damage it; having arrived near low water, I took a look at the riser chain ... and poodled off to anchor away from the moorings.

I wasn't going to ask, but assumed you would do the right thing! Sadly it's not always the case, leading to uprooted and lost sinkers and other aggro.

Other people’s moorings are a thing of the past for me, now!?

I draw 1.5m, fin keel Moody 30.

Have you thought of getting the bilge keel version then you could dry out in a wider range of places?
