Moontrev Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Hi all, we are newbies, glad to be part of the community! we have a 17ft sailing boat and we require a mooring, we don't need electricity etc, just somewhere to moor the boat between sailings. Can anyone suggest where to start our search? many thanks in advance. cheers trev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Hi Trev and welcome aboard! I'm not familiar with moorings in the south myself but I'm sure it won't be long before someone comes in with some helpful ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I'm guessing Trev is looking something fairly simple rather than full boatyard facilities (but I could be wrong of course) thinking the likes of Langley or Hardley dyke perhaps? I don't know who to contact unfortunately. Oulton Broad maybe or even Beccles? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBerkshireBoy Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Paul at Swancraft (Brundall) is worth a phone call. Last time I was there it looked busy though. Opps, forgot my manners, along to the forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 With a 17ft yacht, I'd recommend somewhere on the Yare, as the river is the widest of them all. I don't know whether these are "local residents only" moorings, but there are some nice bankside moorings in Langley and Hadley dykes, with direct access to the Yare. On the Yare, with a 17ftr, you can sail from Reedham swing bridge, all the way to the outskirts of Norwich unhindered, providing you have enough mast clearance at Post wick viaduct, and from Langley or Hadley, that will afford you a good weekends sailing, with plenty of shoreside attractions and safe moorings, not to mention evening entertainments (pubs). If I wanted a small yacht for weekending, that's where I'd want to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Oulton Broad or Beccles, contact the Harbour Master at Sentinel Leisure. Plenty available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambridgeCabby Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Welcome from Katie and me too . St Olaves also be a good option provided you’re ok with been beached at low water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I would have also recommended Swancraft like a shot. certainly worth a call although I suspect the OP is looking for something a bit more basic. Could be wrong though, I often am! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hi and welcome, try Cove at Brundall. We have been there for over Five years.Highly recommend it.Also Graham at Oulton broad. He's just completed moorings at the old Top craft site. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishtone Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Worth trying the 2 moorings down Griffin lane. One is owned by Brian and Barbara whom i have used before i moved to Northern rivers. or you could try Griffin Marine next door. A lovely spot as you are straight out on to the Yare. Must add i do miss the Southern rivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessan Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Both Langley and Hardley Dykes provide good private moorings - no facilities. I would suggest contacting Langley with Hardley Parish Council who could probably provide contact details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 In the options menu at the top right (3 horizontal lines) is an envelope icon which you can use to send any particular member a private message. You can't directly email a member from the forum unless they have invited you to by supplying their email address to you personally. Hope that helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`ve even heard of people keeping a boat on a trailer, fully rig in a boatyard, and just launching and recovering before and after a days sail.
