good to see that the new owners have ambitions for the marina and pub not sure I'm fully supportive of a "yacht club" being created as the next evolution the LOTI. Running it as a really good pub with food that welcomes everyone will be a good start. If berth holders get a discount, then t...

you'd expect that the owner will want to be able to lift his own boat at his own marina and put it into his own shed for maintenance, so maybe quite a lot of change coming. I also expect that the yard drainage and electrics will be upgraded and improved. That's been highlighted to him as a priority....

I was told earlier this summer that the new CH owners (the Norton family) had their architects visit and survey the LOTI and that they're likely to re-configure the interior. So as already mentioned, probably not a quick re-opening one of my sons met the existing owners and was chatting to them. The...

has it been bought by the new Craobh Marina owners?

https://www.peelwaters.co.uk/

one of the Peel Group companies. classic case of creating different legal entities to manage different parts of their asset base

all privately owned and their management of public assets, poorly regulated by the UK and Scottish governments

How many years from approved application to the marina being operational?
My guess is 15years

nice clip!

I've seen 18-20c on the temp recorded by my speed/depth/temp through hull gizmo......but not after I calibrated it

so where would you prioritise tunnels in Scotland? mainland to Mull? (Oban to Duart? or across to Morven and cross half way up the sound of Mull? Ayrshire to Arran and another on to Campbeltown? cross the Clyde the Cloch and cross to Dunoon and the Cowal peninsula? Some foresight and parts of Scotla...

Does anyone know of an instructor/coach no the west coast of Scotland, who can do on-board training, competent crew, day skipper level I have a friend who sails with her husband, but wants some support and coaching to build her confidence so that she can take their boat out as skipper (without him) ...

good to see that some good behind the scenes influencing is having a positive impact for all who use the Clyde Port waters

returned from Scottish Series Tarbert to Craobh via the Canal Left Tarbert 07:00 and tied up in Craobh at 19:33 Waited at the sealock for the tide to rise and then it was basically a non stop passage until Crinan. Staff at all locks and gates, only 2 locks worth of boats passing and good coordinatio...

good to hear, thanks for sharing

the back-door privatisation prior to the Scottish Parliament coming into existence, is probably the most important public interest reason for MSPs to oppose Peel Ports. Peel Ports are given the privilege of running public assets, all be it for a profit. They have carved up the assets they were given...

11. Scottish Ministers have no powers to intervene in how the harbours are managed. they have power to intervene through amendment of the HRO. They didi this for CoP 26 so there is a recent precedent. It'll be interesting to see if Peel Ports react or respond to the universal condemnation of their p...
