Prejudice Prices ?

[Lastdraft]

Paid my £16.50 for side on berth with electric at Beccles on Sunday and noticed if I was a Sailie I would have paid £13.00 ?  ( If been discussed before, sorry, just delete )

Don't want to start a Motor v Sail debate but does a 35 foot motor boat take up more room than a 35 foot sail boat ? or use less electric when plugged in ?  We have to give them the width of the river and tip toe around them, but do we have to subsidise them mooring as well ?

[kfurbank]

I guess it's to encourage them to put their mast down and not hog the free moorings before the bridge.    

[Polly]

That is odd.

[quo vadis]

you have a lot to learn

[Baitrunner]

Well they can't afford fuel and can only afford rags and sticks so we have to help them out!!

Strange pricing though.

[ExUserGone]

I think oulton broad is the same system, never worked it out myself.

[JennyMorgan]

Stern-on I do understand as most sailies are somewhat narrower than mobos but side-on, that's strange. Okay, so we don't have all the comforts of home eating up the leccy cards but 35' is 35'. On the other hand perhaps the Authorities prefer sailing boats, quite understandable!!

Is the sign that states "powered" vs "unpowered"?!

[MauriceMynah]

This was a cynical move by Dr Packman in an attempt to stop the owners of sailing boats complaining about him.

I have no way of proving it but I suspect that Dr P has more critics under sail than under power.

[BroadScot]

All very confuzzling!

perhaps your boat needs a deeper mooring to accommodate  your keel or the vegetation trimming so as not to snag your superstructure? 

[Hockham Admiral]

"Powered" and "unpowered" refer to whether you want leccy or not.

 

It's nothing to do with or

[Matt]

That's what I was tactfully trying to get to

[Hockham Admiral]

Matt, it confused me when they started it last year at OBYS and I eventually got a reply from Sentinel Leisure.

 

Pehaps they should use "Electrically Powered"?  :shocked

 

On second thoughts that would have the leccy powered brigade up in arms.....

 

Why not just have "Moorings £X" and "Leccy £Y"?  :roll:

[Baitrunner]

Too obvious.

[BroadScot]

Too simple !

[C.Ricko]

Ah, I see what you are saying now...
