I suffered a similar sort of damage a few years back. On mine the hull and topsides meet at a flanged joint, and it's glued / glassed together with the rubbing strake over the top. I had about a metre damaged and had to carry out quite extensive GRP repairs.

Will it affect anyone, except Norwich Sea Scouts if they ever want a new boat ?

You'd need different catergories of training / test - one size won't fit all. Total sail, auxillary yacht, power........

The motorway round Dublin is a similar system. They have ANPR cameras, get the reg, you call in with credit / debit card and pay it

Belaugh and Coltishall somewhere around Red / Yellow ?
I'd put Horning well above Wroxham .........
Thorpe as a Green ?

A lot of sailing clubs make extensive use of PMR's for rescue boat cover. At Hickling we can normally communicate with the club-house even when we are some distance down the river to Potter

because Pennygate Staithe (note the correct name, not Barton Turf Staithe, which doesn't exist)
Eh ? What do you base that on ? I could possibly concede Paddy's Lane to Pennygate, but Barton Turf Staithe not existing .....
That's new to me, the Barton Turf History Project ( http://www.barton-turf.co.uk/staithes.html ) and probably most of the village.

Yes, quite a pertinent point from Angie there, and very valid for the BA to balance the cost to the toll payers compared with the specfic benefits we would get back in return.
I cycle down the hill to Barton Turf Staithe quite frequently, and I've been asked several times by visiting boaters walking up, "where's the nearest Pub mate", or "where's the shop".....
...and then seeing them turn round and give up, on hearing how many miles it is.
....and as I have said, as one who lives there, almost every day in the summer we have visitors walking down to Neatishead. I've even been known to offer a lift if passing. There will be a small but significant percentage of users of both shop and pub who tie up in Barton Turf and walk down. It's 1.5 miles / about 20 minutes.

As I put on the petition, these moorings are constant use during the season, and not just for the village. Many a tourist I have directed down to Neatishead for the pub / shop. I'm sure these would suffer some financial impact if the moorings were lost, with the resultant knock on to us who live there
Besides, I love chatting to visitors

I'll speak to the Parish Council too - not sure if it's anything to do with the village, but............

I went from a Mercury 2 stroke to a Honda 4 stroke ( and from 4 to 6 hp )
Smoother, quieter - but a darn sight heavier to take on and off
-
Dropping the mast is no problem when motoring - takes about five minutes.
Just need to get the courage to go for it

I haven't ventured South, and am pretty aprehensive of so doing.
Under power I made 3.8mph on Barton according to my GPS
How strong are those tides again.............

Have you checked your boat lately?

Had a blocked drain in the cockpit, so looks like rain water has gone over the top of the lockers and then tracked down to under the cabin sole. Need a very thin syphon tube to slip down through one of the keel bolt cutouts between the sole and hull ........... done it before using a model aircraft fuel pump.
