i sailed over about 60% earlier this year in a Rebel and to be honest , only touched very occasionally..

And yes there are spots of weed but like many of the Broads the weed growth except around the margins and a few other places you wouldn't probably go, is limited too. There are a few places where there is weed but generally its pretty sparse over lots of the Broad too although weather conditions can affect that from year to year. It certainly is nothing like it was in the '60's when the Port and Haven Commrs struggled to keep even the channels open.

In any case, are we saying weed growth should be banned?? Surely some is acceptable?

Nor is it conservation, and especially not conservation by exclusion enforced by strategic neglect.

Spot on! That is it in one short sentence.

Not a problem if you tether a hungry cat to your boat. Tethered dogs are also excellent but the blessed things keep howling
