*sigh* So my mooring was serviced in Jan, cost of $418. Replacements:
- 4.5m of 24mm aquateck rope
- Thimble
- D shackle
- And 2 counts of splicing.

Well the boat got picked up to go up the slip on Monday, and the marina sent me the attached photo of the mooring rope....
Going to be about $200 plus only 6 months later.....
Not overly happy today...

That rope isn't UV resistant FYI. Are you located in Sydney Harbour?

Huh, learn something new every day.

No, she is up at Nelson Bay for the moment, though will be moving down to Sydney later in the year. Which incidentally means very little competition (read none) for the mooring business.

Fair enough,
There's plenty of choice of contractors down here in Sydney, but I'm a true believer in you get what you pay for.

Also a lot of the time it's still cheaper to spend more money on your mooring than deal with insurance companies, paying excesses and potentially being months without a boat.
or worse your insurance being void on a technicality !!

I take it you are a contractor lady luck. Where are you working?

Hi two dogs,
no I'm not. But I have been on the barges who have serviced my moorings every year for the last 10 years, I ask to be on board/there when they are servicing.
I take photos on my iPhone (used to be Sony digital camera) and then go to office works and print them out for insurance records.
Its an obsessive fiddle around but I've never had a problem with insurance or NSW Maritime and each organisation gets more painful and pedantic each year.
