Chris, It's the yard between SSBAC and the fire safety training place.

I think they have a sign on the quay wall you can see from the river.

Just been talking to someone who reckons me keeping my boat in the water is a bad idea incase theres a storm and it gets flooded out.

Its got a decent cover on it but the drain plug would be below water level.

Is it likely to hapen at say sunderland?

[chris76]

Am i going to havce an issue with getting petrol,or would just get a big jerry can

[lingking]

sunderland marina fairly protected in my eyes,there are rules n regs regarding the transfer of fuel within some marinas,i guess you need to speak to them

Hi Chris
I have been moored in Sunderland for coming up 5 years, It's not the cheapest mooring in the area but access at all states of tides with no locks or barrier gates to worry about and easy access to some great marks without a long steam to get to open water.
It is quite tight in places and like yourself my previous boat ownership was trailer launching, although much more expensive I would not go back unless I had to.
Some boats do suffer with water build up after very heavy rain, I have a self draining deck so not an issue for me, the marina is manned 24hrs and the lads regularly check the boats for problems and are pretty good at letting you know if they think you have an issue. If you have a decent cover and are prepared to check your boat regularly you shouldn't have any major issues.
Good luck in whatever you decide!
Cheers Dave
