YM looking for Blackwater yachtsmen

[Rob MBM Editor]

Yachting Monthly is putting together an article on taking a mud berth and drying out in mud.

We're looking to do a photoshoot on the Blackwater, possibly from Bradwell, with a fin-keeler.

Do you guys know any boatowners there or are there any forum members who might be willing to help us out?

We're hoping to get the shoot done over the next three weeks.

PM me if you're interested or could point me in the direction of a friendly yacht owner
or email me at rob_peake at ipcmedia.com

Cheers!

Rob

Fin keel...

Blackwater mud berth? Not two phrases one hears together often. I have a mate with a fin keeler up Mundon Creek. Sits at a very funny angle most of the time!

Best mud berth I know is Brightlingsea Waterside Marina.

Off the hook - so to speak.

Watch out Walton boys

So, short notice & wrong area

 

[MoodySabre]

The wrong kind of mud (actually not deep enough).

how deep does the mud have to be then

 

[MoodySabre]

They wanted to stand a fin keeler up in the mud unsupported so deep enough to support the belly of the boat.

 

[ianfr]

Plenty of mud here in Tollesbury

Watch this space....

Swale mud is deep enough to swallow the whole boat, mast'n'all. They are looking in the wrong place.
