There is a lot of water On the way to Potter!

Sorry don't know  the name of the house it's moored at. It is very close to the village. If you know Potter you will know where it's moored.

We passed this morning. The light was on and the boat is up for sale.

We passed it last week to and from HWs. It looks a mess but as has been said there seems to be less rough looking live aboards than there used to be. It always intrigues my wife when we see such boats. As the saying goes. The light is on but no one's at home. 

[Popeye]

I wonder how much that light has cost to run over the countless years I have been on the Broads.?

Increase in energy costs have forced sale lol.

Does the boat have to be taxed to be on the river, or is it exempt because it is on a private mooring? I assume the the latter. And to get your boat taxed, do you need your safety certificate?

[Regulo]

Got to have tax, whether private mooring or not, and yes, to get said tax, got to have a BSS certificate. That's the rules - not always followed by some, and it takes a long while for the authority to take meaningful action, in some cases.

Possibly exempt if registered as a haven for moths.

Kindest regards Marge and Parge

Drl at womack had one of these boats, they were in the process of totally refitting it when they went belly up. Wonder what happened to the boat.

Sorry to have to correct you, Regulo, but this Foster 30 is not moored in "adjacent waters" when it is moored at the boat owner's own mooring plot. There is, therefore, I believe, no requirement for either a BA toll to be paid or a boat safety certificate. It would only require a toll to have been paid and a current BSS if it were moored on the plot frontage. As always I stand to be corrected if I am incorrect in my reading of the situation.

Just like a car parked on a private drive I assume?

[Regulo]

I seem to recall a big discussion here a few years back about "adjacent waters", but lost the will to live after a few pages! So I'm probably wrong!

What is the asking price?

Not on FB Marketplace, just a FB group called ‘is the light still on’ or similar and no, I’m certainly not a member, although nearly 100 people are.

Personally, I think you’d have to pay someone to take it away.  Bloody eyesore!

[Regulo]

I stand corrected. From the BA website:

"Are there any main areas that are exempt and are not considered adjacent waters?

Any waters which are used, whether for mooring or navigation only, by an occupant of an adjoining residential dwelling."

I presume that to mean, as long as the vessel doesn't move onto the main navigation.

[Regulo]

Next point of discussion: Is that a residential dwelling? Do I care? Not really, but it's too hot to do anything else but sit at this keyboard!

[BrundallNavy]

Well it’s definitely happening. 

[Wussername]

Sunk ?

[grendel]

sold, there was a message on facebook saying so.

[Andrewcook]

Gone for a pretty penny I bet and the location is good whoever bought it may a lottery winner.

[Heron]

I'm standing up for the boat, how many of us have taken a look in the mirror recently and realised how we go into decline as the years pass by?

as i understand it, it was just the boat that was sold.

It looks like they had to get the strimmer out so they could get near it !!!
