The cheapest secure moorings on the cut

[dockgateman]

Just paid my club mooring fees for 12 months '£20' per foot PA, £800 for a 40foot boat, the marina is near Nantwich,

they still got spaces for steel boats and GRP cruisers if anyone interested

That is cheap.

 

Our boat club doesn't even get close to that. If we moored at the boat club we are members of our moorings would be £750.

 

Yours would be £500 for the same size boat!

 

What facilities are available?

 

ETA: The £750 at out club includes electric and water.

Is it this one? http://www.nbcyc.co.uk/Home.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=101 As with most clubs there is probably a membership subscription as well.

 

Right next to Nantwich Basin.

If it is (Nantwich and Borders) they advertise that they can only take boats up 40 foot.

Yes membership of our club really breaks the bank.

 

£40 a year

Boat Club moorings are usually cheaper than commercial marinas. However, Bill Fen Marina is famously cheap, but remote (although in a beautiful area).

 

FWIW, I pay £560 per year for 27ft at Shire Cruisers. Both Bill Fen and Shire Cruisers are, unsurprisingly, usually full.

I have just paid £260 for a secure offside mooring with an elsan point, central water point, electric point per mooring and free pumpout.

The amount You pay for a year, down south it's a months mooring!.

I have a doubt about the use of secure in this thread.

I moor off the main line in a basin that has full cctv, fully lit after dark, all night.

The area is completely surrounded by double fencing with razor wire between the fencing and along the top of the inner.

 

There are at least two live aboards and in three years I've been broken into twice.

I've often wondered if my narrow boat is more secure if I leave the back doors open!

I didn't replace any of the stuff stolen, so when they broke in the second time they just did a couple of hundred pounds worth of damage to doors/hatch/locks & hinges.

 

I haven't locked it since.

I considered putting a notice on the door explaining that it was unlocked because of previous robberies. However I don't speak or write in the Eastern European language that the CCTV picked up they were shouting to each other.
