MOORINGS
We use drying moorings
on the River Brue which are held
by fore and aft mooring chains.
Our mooring officer allocates
places on the river as
appropriate and on a first come
first serve basis. All persons
with vessels in the river whether
on a mooring or pontoon require a
river licence, this is payable by
the club to the Crown
Commissioners. Presently the
mooring fee stands at
£50
The pontoon system
has berths for 24 boats, visitors berths, and
a loading unloading berth. Twenty Four hour
access is available via a walkway. All berths
on the system are presently
allocated. Berth holders are
required to enter in to a berthing
agreement with the club, and pay a monthly berthing
fee based on overall boat
length.
During the summer, and
especially during the winter
there are frequently vacant
berths on the pontoon system, the
club lets out these vacancies on
a short term availability basis.
The option to take up winter
berths is especially useful to
boat owners as it allows easier
access for maintenance and the
avoidance of using a tender in
the river to reach your
craft.
Water and electric is
available on the pontoons, diesel
available from garages in town.
For more information on
river moorings contact the
Mooring Officer, see CONTACTS

For more information on
pontoon berthing availability
please contact the Jetty Master,
see CONTACT LIST.
ACCESS
We sail in tidal waters
so consequently our sailing time
is limited by the tide which
gives us access for approximately
2 hours either side of high
water. A section of the new
pontoon system will be pushed
further in to the river, and
together with the extended
walkway should extend our sailing
time.
