That's an interesting mooring arrangement in the second photo - I am guessing that's a pontoon of some sort on the other side of Rula? ---- My own yacht is moored between two mooring piles just like this - wouldn't mind my own pontoon as well!
Alden - yes the harbour master encouraged people to put pontoons in , boats are moored in pairs between piles on the river. the regulation is getting worse, a friend wanted to move a new pontoon in place, he had to apply for some sort of official marine movement approval was ending up at £500 - give me a swinging mooring any day, oh of course the harbour authority wouldn't be able to cram in sow many fee paying boats then would they.
We live close to Bursledon Bridge on the Hamble River. This is about boats, wildlife and people in the upper reaches of the Hamble, but mostly about old boats and things nautical.
Nice boat. I presume she is gaff rigged?
