Club/Mooring Fees -info.

[FullCircle]

I belong to Royal Corinthian YC at Burnham On Crouch on the East Coast (England of course)

I have just had the bill in for mooring this year, swinging in the River Crouch, with a boat taxi service throughout the season.

Membership for family £400/annum (very nice facilities and great for kids)

Boat mooring for 9 months, February November end £660 for an 11m boat.

Dinghy stowage in Park, £24

Not bad all in as the club is a welcoming place too.

So... are there any moorings free and should I sail clockwise or anti-clockwise to get there? Shouldn't take much more than a couple of weeks if I don't spend too much time in the pub.

Ooh they're cheaper than that in this part of the world - tho there may not be too many 'official' facilities!

still expensive for a mooring in a mudhole

And talking of mudholes

If you happen to live near the coast

And there happens to be a nice bit of sheltered water nearby

And you happen to have a heavy weight and a length of chain

Is there any reason why you can't lay your own mooring and park your boat for free.

[ljs]

You can (and people do) in many places in Eire

In the UK you have to seek the permission of (and pay rent to) Her Maj - strictly speaking!

"In the UK you have to seek the permission of (and pay rent to) Her Maj - strictly speaking!"

Doe you happen to know the limits on this.

Is it 3 miles, or intertidal or some other thing dating back to Henry 8

Also is there some intermediary, or do I just drop a note to Buck Hse, perhaps with a tenner tucked in the fold?

[Silkie]

I don't know the strict definition (if there is one) but suspect that you wouldn't want to lay a mooring anywhere that wasn't included!

It is The Crown Estate which owns virtually the entire seabed out to the 12 nautical mile territorial limit

The Crown Estate.

still expensive for a mooring in a mudhole

Not a mudhole though Jim, at LW springs I have 22ft under the keel.
Other mudholelike facilities are available at considerably reduced cost.

[Silkie]

Anywhere you have to read the depth in feet is definitely suffering from thin water IMO.

OK a deep mudhole then
