Yerr, a Hunter Medina sounds about right. Chuck a bit of Miracle Grow on it and it could be a 22' Snotty.

I'll have a look through my paperwork and get back to you - IIRC - the costs went up by £10 / M for 2009/10. The new tariff should be sent to me in January - I'll send you a copy.

If you have your own winter storage and the ability to trail her there, then a swinging mooring for the summer will be your cheapest option - you can bring her onto the 'public' jetty for a short period to load passengers, supplies, etc.

Our Leisure 17 was berthed stern to the jetty with a permanent lazy line but they don't seem to use that option now. We paid for a 12 month berth but kept her ashore on her trailer during the winter but had to pay again for the storage ( with a 60% discount because we were 12 month berth holders!! ) We were less than the 7M minimum charge for the marina.

We're now prepared to pay the additional cost for the 'step aboard' benifits of a pontoon berth with the availability of electricity ( which you pay for by purchasing cards ) for our 8.2M Vega.

We leave her afloat but out of commision for the 5 month winter period.

Hi Alex

How's Vital Spark? Not the weather for working on boats outside. Anyway, Ardlui have sent out their Marina Prices for 2010.

I'll link to a jpeg here, but if you PM me an email address then I can send you a PDF of the single sheet.
