Mine too. Spoke to them only a couple of weeks ago, said I could secure a build slot for £500. Glad I didn't! Didn't get any indication of this though...it is very sad.

On mine too...

Anyone had any dealings with Reeves boat builders recently? I was having a browse the other day and noticed today that their site is down.

Although I have lurked here for almost 6 months now, I am too impressed with the responses I received on another thread on this forum today. To be honest, any questions I've had before were answered by the search function - this place is a wealth of resource.

Thanks for the responses guys. I'm not entirely sure where I want a mooring, or even if I want one for the entire year, so trying one out for 6 month or so would seem to satisfy my curiosity and RoyScot's requirements. GPS is on the list of things to install (albeit near the bottom), not sure I'd willingly give out such information though!

Hello. I am looking to buy a canal boat in the next 6/9 months, and have been looking into the various financing options. After ruling out cash only and personal loans I've been left with RoyScot larch. That was easy enough! My question is regarding their policy on moorings. It is apparent that they require a permanent mooring, if you declare you are living aboard, before they will offer credit. From my research residential moorings are rare beasts indeed - I was certainly unable to find any suitable ones. Do they accept leisure moorings? Of course, I understand you can't live aboard (all the time) at a leisure mooring, but could one spend a couple of days a week living on the boat at the leisure mooring, and then seek adventure around the system the remainder of the time? This would, in my mind, provide a permanent mooring and a reasonable declaration of living aboard. Does anyone have experience of RoyScot larch's view on this? Thanks in advance, QK.
