Not a bad place to be

I never said it would. I just said I was impressed and I would never have thought to even try it.

That is something which I have thought about in the past, how do you get out if you fall in. Having witnessed someone climbing out after falling in (I won't name them as they are on this forum ) they waded around to the rear of the boat, held on to the swans neck, put one foot on the skeg then the other on the top of the rudder and climbed out that way. Or something like that but it looked quite slick.

You didn't read the rest of the thread before replying did you

Seems it's a common question on forums today. https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=&t=2142306

As has been mentioned above, it is in its own engine room. Not sure it's a hydraulic drive either as it looks to have a propshaft exiting left in this photo.

That would be my interpretation of their question too. Basically where would you like it taken rather than have it sit where it is. It’s probably a standard question and in circumstances where the damage isn’t as bad as yours the owners would probably want it taken to a boatyard where the boat would be safe while the insurance company did their thing.

Sounds much like my cruising pattern last year 🤣

I'd wait. It will be fine. For context, ours was last blacked in 2023 and it won't be re-done this year.

That would be my take on it, yes.

I would think an "unregistered residential mooring" means it is registered as a leisure mooring but, along with a lot of others around the country, has people using it as a residential mooring under the radar.

I wonder how many people start off with the idea of doing number 10 but soon revert to something like 9 😄

Don't swear at me please.

Do you actually think you're funny posting a reply like that?

Why? Are you hoping they will sell it to you cheap? Or are you concerned that the owner doesn't know its current position?
