at Mercury on the Hamble
we have been asked for £4400 (Nimbus 31c motorcruiser for next year - 9.73 metres as measured by the marina) and this includes unlimited hardstanding (from April 2002) plus reasonable toilets/showers, bar and restaurant and a small chandlers. There is a crane lift and 'boatmover' run by Hamble Yacht Services (haul out, pressure wash and block up is about £180-200 I think, my boat's still in).
MYH is a lovely marina in a beautiful setting with good friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere but there is a waiting list and it is an MDL run place which can put some people off. It's not the most expensive but certainly not cheap either!

Re: £3,452.63p
Erm, I'm not sure the eact average, really. Not sure that anyone will be either. Cheaper outside poole/solent. Where do you actually want to be?

Re: £3,452.63p
Plus Queens holiday money.
is there such a thing as an average cost?
too many variables methinks.
You need to think where you are going to keep the boat as TCM suggests - averages will not tell you much - only specifics.

My details
I pay about £500 for swinging mooring on Dart available 12 months.
Haul out and launch is about £80 (both) and storage at my boat club about £280 for the winter including electricity and water.

Oh dear, I fear another rant about mooring costs on the way!! Take cover.
Incidently Twister Ken in his Earls Court Wooden Spoon thread predicted the imminent start of dull discussions on Silkaflex, so dull the forums have become. Take a look at "Plastic Windows" on the PBO forum. Aaghh

What\'s wrong with asking a sensible question about plastic windows?
Why the comment? It might be appropriate if the question was asked in this forum, but it was not.

Re: What\'s wrong with asking a sensible question about plastic windows?
No problem with it, it just makes me smile that Twister Ken predicted a Silkaflex question soon, and we get it one day later.
The posters are getting predicable, me thinks

Not true Mike. Us Brits have an insatiable interest in toilets. Think of our humour. Why should Yotties be any different. Hmm, maybe this is not staying on the theme that jjj wanted, but, frankly, I welcome any diversion from being reminded the cost of mooring!

OK back to mooring
I complain at the cost of my local marina - £832 pa + VAT last year for an 8 metre yacht and only access 1 1/2 hours either side of HW. If it ever approached the cost of marinas in the south I'd have to give it up or find a mud berth.

Re: at Mercury on the Hamble
South Coast costs really do make me shudder. I am moored in Ravenglass (Cumbria) with the Lake District fells only minutes away. The estuary is a SSSI area and my mooring costs are zero. Winter haul out also costs nought as I sail my boat onto a trailer and get towed off by a friend who owns a tractor. The other REAL benefit is when I exit the estuary to go to the IOM/Solway etc , most times I am the only yacht on the water (lonelyness is not to everyones taste I admit but I enjoy it.) I really do not wish to sound smug etc but I do think if I had to pay £3000-£4000 just to moor I really would have to re-assess my need to sail. It all depends on your wallet I suppose.

Its not all doom and gloom outside the marinas....
On the Solent - provided you have a bilge keeler and can cope with drying out, swinging moorings are still available in places like Chichester and Portsmouth harbour for less than £300 a year.

Including tackle?
Does this include ground tackle, mooring chain and buoy? Or must you supply your own in addition?

Re: Including tackle?
Laying your own tackle in the Solent area ? - If only! Prices quoted from Chichester harbour Conservancy for a C3 mooring (up to 28 feet dries around half tide) were still under £300 last spring, and I understand even less than that in certain parts of Portsmouth.
As a matter of fact there IS one place where you can still lay and maintain your own mooring round here: The eastern top end of Langstone Harbour. I was quoted just £35 for a mooring licence there a few years ago. Probably gone up now. So why didnt I take it? Well first theres the sewage outfall from Havant, second the kids from the Leigh Park Estate like playing around there. The licence is only granted if the tackle is to HMs specifications, and you have to take it to his office for inspection - sinker and all - before you can lay it! For a larger boat that would mean loading and transporting perhps 175 kilos of gear ..... - a bit more than you can get in the car boot!

Re: Including tackle?
Many thanks. I used to moor free but had to supply/maintain own tackle. Local shyster in cahoots with Crown Agents and miserable support from RYA means now we all have to pay a fee to the shyster but still supply/maintain own moorings which in a strong tidal area can be significant each year. This is purely "ground rent" - no services or facilities whatsoever. Costs were supposedly influenced by practices further east - ie your area. I find your info most valuable - thank you.
