"... zinc anodes possess one flaw: When used in brackish or fresh water they are prone to developing a calcareous coating, a whitish material that essentially puts a zinc anode to sleep. " https://www.cruisingworld.com/how/zinc-and-aluminum-sacrificial-anodes#page-2 I've been using Magnezium for a year or two now, but I'm finding they are dissolving rapidly. More salt tides maybe ? I'm considering Aluminium when she comes out soon.

Further compouded by the BSS failing to incorporate mains installations as 'obligatory', only 'advisory'

Happened to a friend of mine - same cause. He's moored not far from Bondons. His boat had to come out for an unconnected reason a month after it was launched. He was staggered to find there were NO annodes left!

You may wish to look at the Broads Authority Bylaws regardin to vessel dimensions http://www.broads-authority.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/399232/Vessel_Dimensions_Byelaws-1.pdf

Five years ago, the MPs whose constituencies covered the Broads met with senior members of the Broads Authority and the appointed members of the Broads Authority’s Navigation Committee in early September, at Westminster, to discuss concerns about the Authority’s governance and consultation processes amongst other things.

Indeed, things may have worsened. https://www.waterways.org.uk/news_campaigns/other_news/mps_ask_broads_authority_to_review_management_style

Only on BA and some private moorings. The rules, just obey the rules. It's also worthy of note that the Broadland rivers are a statutory navigation. Should anyone choose to fish on such waters they should be prepaared for the occasional inconvenience from boats.

They already think they do ! I once had a conversation with a 'Volunteer Ranger' whose interest was entirely the angling. He was most indignant when I suggested that many other Broads users besides boaters should contibute in some way to their use of the Broads, such as Bird watchers, walkers and... anglers. " Do you know how much we pay for a license " he asked. When I replied with the right answer and then told him what the toll was for my Yacht he quietend down a little !

My wife has always been 'Nunu' . She however doesn't know one end of a vacuum cleaner from the other
