Swinging mooring Deben or Orwell.

[Billy_Mizzen]

We currently have a pontoon berth in Martlesham on the Deben, unfortunately we are very limited by the tide which is pretty inconvenient. We’re looking for a swinging mooring either on the Deben or preferably the Orwell the boat in question is 23’ L.O.A and draws 3’6” if anyone knows of sub-let or has any suggestions I’d be very glad of the help!

Try these; they run the Pin Mill moorings :- http://www.kingsboatyard.co.uk/

or Suffolk Yacht Harbour & Woolverstone Marina (MDL) both of which have full tide swinging moorings

I also recommende FFBY - but may be quicker to telephone and speak to Andrew about moorings.

Pin Mill was very cost effective when I asked, also VAT free

The Royal Harwich have vacant moorings for a boat your size at Wolverstone if you want to join the club.

What sort of prices do they charge and how friendly is the club? I'm interested because it's a nice spot.

Worth trying the Fairways Committees on the Deben, particularly Kyson FC as temporary moorings may well be available for a boat of that size. PM me for details. Alternatively Woodbridge Boatyard (Eversons) or Waldringfield Boatyard may have something.

The club is extremely friendly, we have been members for about 30 years, there are lots of members with young families, and lots of child/youth friendly activities. It has one of the best sites on the East Coast, all in my humble opinion.

Re costs, have a look on the Club website, www.royalharwichyachtclub.co.uk, I do know there are a number of half tide moorings available, not sure about deep water.

For moorings at Pin Mill contact the moorings secretary at the sailing club -

Another place to try beyond the Orwell Bridge is Orwell Yacht club. They have the moorings on the port side as you go from the bridge towards Ipswich.

I hear on the grapevine that SYH have some moorings available....

Given the number of thier moorings which are unoccupied at the moment I suspect there will be quite a few to choose from
