1 of the boys in work got 1 Wez.
His is moored in Aberaeron. Can ask how much he pays to store it there if your interested.
Iv no idea what the fishing is like there, but its a small holiday village near a caravan park and only a short drive away. Hes got a boat and a caravan and uses it quite regular

wez talk to local boaters about setting moorings! i set my own once cost about £300 plus whatever moorings charges are? better using trailer and launch from a slipway , usually anual chsrge but reasonable around £100 or less a year

I've spoken to a few ,I'm looking at Barry yacht club Which is expensive to join but cheap once up and runing compared to Cardiff bay's clubs ,I havnt got a car with a tow bar and would prefer a pontoon or trot mooring

Usually for moorings you need length of heavy chain length of lighter chain plus heavy weight to keep boat in place! along with a bouy to hold chain up so can hook it

wez, Cardiff Bay Yacht Club is a very accessible, friendly and reasonably priced place :thumbup:

My late father had a boat moored down there for many years and loved both the club and its members ;)

In Barry they have the main chain but you then have to link to it which I'm shitting myself doing hopefully someone will help me there
