Just bought myself a new mooring for my renovated Norman 20 'Sylk Lady'.I was happy with myself until i enquired about a new canal licence....wow £499 per year....robbing sods!
How do they come up with figues like this. It's cheaper for me to insure my car for 12 months !
Suppose i dont have any choice...do i
This is my first licence application having 'got the bug' and whilst a was aware that boating is a money pit, i was suprised at how much a licence is

Just had my Avon Navigation licence renewal yet again another 15% rise. That's an approx 15% increase every year since I have had my boat that's around 50% in three years
Wouldn't mind if they did anything, number of times after floods the lock mooring where you wait to enter the locks get obstructed by tree trunks/branches etc by the weirs and when you phone them they say it's EA's responsibility not the trusts. |

Your is cheap! in comparison.
Mooring fees are not the same as licence fees, they are on top.

Just renewed our licence: £769.21.
It sure ain't a cheap hobby...
Btw, there is a significant discount for "Prompt Payment". The saving is about 10% but I don't know whether it applies to new licences. |
