Athy Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 "Civils contractors", are they? Not very civils moorers apparently. Rothen's is a long-established and reputable firm and I'm surprised by this report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fittie Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Just because it's a Rothen's boat does not mean that it was moored by Rothen's staff as the boat could be on hire to CRT or some other contractor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have been out on the boat you might not have heard that the canals are shut. This means you won't need to use the winding holes anyway ...

Keeping Up Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 When I complained about a boat moored long-term opposite a 70ft winding hole, the next one North from the one mentioned by the OP, they simply came out and erected a new sign saying "Max length 63ft". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
