Winter Moorings, how many paid for them last year

[andy the hammer]

Hi All

 

How many of us paid for winter moorings last year as I am trying to get an idea of the take up rate.

[GoodGurl]

in my opinion if they were cheaper more people would take them.

I dont know how many took them, but 2011-2012 income from winter moorings was 250 thousand total.

Easier just to ask CRT surely

Is that just the online figure henlyn, or does it include the marina ones too.

Online.

Not sure how you would ever get the Marina figure unless you contacted them all but doubt that would work.

What is the difference between a winter mooring and a yearly mooring?

[bigste]

Difference is about 8 months.

winter moorings run from Oct - March

[oasistoo]

We Did and so did 5 others at Elesmere the new system is a travesty a further marginalisation next year I believe CRT will offer no winter moorings at all.

It was confirmed yesterday http://canalrivertrust.org.uk/boating/mooring/winter-moorings, my reason for asking the question.

[jenlyn]

A bit cheeky with this comment

(exploiting a clause in the 1995 Waterways Act)

[GoodGurl]

Before diving in to the detail about permit types and prices below, please note that you cannot buy a winter mooring yet, they will be on sale, via www.crtmoorings.com on the 1^st of October.

I'm confused

 

And my confusion begins here:-

 

for the coming winter, we’re planning on offering just two types of permit – one for central London and the other for the rest of the country.

Winter 2013/14 detailed plans

Three different types of winter mooring permit:

• Central London (Kensal Green to Victoria Park)
• Selected Visitor Moorings
• General Towpath

 

In the first sentence it says there are two types of permit but it immediately goes on to list three types of permit.

 

Next.....it seems as though these arrangements are concerned primarily with continuous cruisers but what about me. I took a mooring for the summer in one place so I am not a continuous cruiser by any means, but what if I want to be somewhere else for the winter? Do these arrangements apply to me?

 

Next.....people wanting a winter mooring must register for one by 1st July - but when were these arrangements announced - was it before 1st July

 

Next.....It is not guaranteed to freeze this winter. If it doesn't freeze continuous cruisers won't need a winter mooring. These arrangements seem to say that ccers need to buy a winter mooring even if they might not need it. What am I not understanding here?

I think they mean there are 2 types

1. london, with it's own areas and booking rules

2. Other

2a - specific VMs

2b - anywhere else (not london)

 

But it's such a piss poor bit of communication it's hard to tell.

 

No you wont - they are only available to those with no home moorings

 

You have to be registered as CC (not registered on the booking site) at 1 June

 

It's all a bit complicated & over engineered - designed to screw ££ out of CCers because they can

Thanks LW. I must confess that once the confusion started making sense of the rest got harder and harder - just got more confused. You made better sense of it than me.

I had to read some bits 3 times - it is very poorly written

Yes, they dont want peeps with a home mooring to get them. ie they dont want peeps to give up a marina mooring & get a cheap Winter Mooring - no doubt due to pressure from the Yacht Harbour Association etc

 

they do say that new (since June) licence holders with no home mooring can have one

[DeanS]

What happens if you are a CC-er, and get frozen in, but dont own a winter mooring licence

Here we go again. It's not a licence dean.
