Lastdraft Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 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 ? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfurbank Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I guess it's to encourage them to put their mast down and not hog the free moorings before the bridge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitrunner Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Well they can't afford fuel and can only afford rags and sticks so we have to help them out!! Strange pricing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExUserGone Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I think oulton broad is the same system, never worked it out myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 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!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Is the sign that states "powered" vs "unpowered"?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 This was a cynical move by Dr Packman in an attempt to stop the owners of sailing boats complaining about him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Ricko Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 perhaps your boat needs a deeper mooring to accommodate your keel or the vegetation trimming so as not to snag your superstructure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 "Powered" and "unpowered" refer to whether you want leccy or not. It's nothing to do with or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 That's what I was tactfully trying to get to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 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: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
