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. Hi again, i did just that for years at Rutland Water before I moved to Norfolk. im now not strong enough, due to my increasing years and past health issues to either raise nor drop the mast, nor hitch up the trailer. ive considered caravan movers, powered winches where the winch is attached to my tow bar, and lowered into the water. the easiest way for me to continue sailing is either a side on mooring on the river, or a swinging mooring on Wroxham Broad, where all I have to do is launch my tender, start her 2 stroke engine, motor out to the mooring and bobs your uncle! thanks for your input, it is appreciated. cheers trev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessan Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Try Cox’s Boatyard at Barton Turf, there is a sort of lagoon area (for want of a better description) which has yachts in it. No facilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessan Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Just remembered, it’s a southern mooring required, apologies! 🤭 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 For a smaller boat it may be worth seeing if wroxham marine (don't get confused, they are now at thorpe st.andrews) have space, very basic mooring but in a closed yard with good edge and a good price as they are a boat builder (sheerline) rather than a marina.
