Moorings
RHYC RIVER MOORINGS
The Royal Harwich Yacht Club maintains approximately 50 swinging moorings on the River Orwell for use by Club members. They are classified into the following categories, depending on the depth of water available.
- Half Tide: Shallow moorings suitable for dayboats and small yachts with lifting keels, or those able to comfortably take the ground at low water.
- Three-Quarter Tide: Less shallow moorings, suitable for shallow draft or lifting keel yachts up to 27 feet approximately. Yachts may ground at the lowest spring tides.
- Full Tide: Deeper water moorings, suitable for fixed keel yachts and dayboats. Some of these moorings are prioritised for the racing keelboat classes.
Mooring Fees: Prices for 2010 available on application.
Applications for moorings (there is sometimes a waiting list) should be made by members on the Application Form available to print, please see link on the left. The moorings season runs from April 1st – October 31st and allocations for the next year are made during the previous December. Once a mooring has been alloacted a terms of Agreement form must be completed. Mooring fees should be paid by 31st January.
Moorings which are allocated after the start of the mooring season are charged for whole months, pro-rata, (one seventh of the annual fee, per whole month).
Moorings are not transferable. The moorings Agreement is between the Club and a named member for a specific vessel. Members who wish to moor a boat other than the one for which the Agreement applies must obtain Mooring Committee approval in advance.
Tenders may be parked in the Club dinghy park, for which a separate application and fee is required. Outboard motors may be secured in the outboard store, which is subject to an annual fee.
The Moorings Allocations Secretary is Peter Richardson.
VISITORS: Visitors may be able to negotiate the temporary use of vacant moorings by contacting the Allocations Secretary or the Club Secretary.
