Hi Ghosty, If it helps, I have a 7 metre mooring available at the Waveney River Centre which I paid for before selling my boat - I know, - stupid!! The mooring has electric hook up and water and the marina has full facilities. I paid £1295.00 for the year to Marcch 31st 2012 but would sell on at a very good discount, (try offering somewhere around half)

I always understood that you could not sell on a mooring that you had paid for from a marina? It still belongs to the marina and the berth holder takes out a contract with the marina.

No, I checked with WRC and I can sublet.

Virtually all of them are paid annually in advance, from either April or January.

There are dozens of Boatyards and Marinas around the broads, and the average for a 22ft boat would be just under £1000 pa.

There's a list of boatyards on the NSBA website at http://www.thegreenbook.org.uk/home/launching.asp , most provide moorings, as indicated. There are a few others though, not mentioned in that list.

Hi Ghosty, If you PM me and do not get a reply, it's because I am away on holiday between 24th May and about 10th June.
