SwanR Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Welcome to the forum Tex. I don't know the answer to your question as I've never wild moored ... but I'm sure that someone will be along soon to answer your question. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshman Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 If you mean can you moor alongside a reedbed, see n o reason why not! If you are worried about falling trees, try not to moor near a tree!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Welcome to the forum.The trick is to moor up as safe as possible. Many people wild moor.You need to check for anything under the service that may damage your boat,be that large stones big tree roots etc.my advice is take extra care on the southern broads where it's more tidal.

JennyMorgan Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Wild mooring is great fun, trees do provide shelter from the wind. Here's a good spot on the Waveney. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
