Mooring is a problem during another windy day at Ludham Bridge.

- Well we ventured out towards Ludham Bridge during the three rivers race and was nervous that the moorings would be filled but it was empty, no doubt motor boats stayed away. It was very busy on land when we arrived but it seemed most of the sailing boats had past by the time we got there. The wind was strong and blowed the boat all over the place (which I love) and as usual it caused problems. I hope you enjoy today’s video and sorry for the wind noise.

It was extremely windy down there. I happened to go out earlier in the morning with the hounds and no was it that bad. The boat attempting to moor up in front of you must have had the longest rope I have ever seen!
Exhausted just watching 🤦♀️
14:50 - the third boat with only a rope at one end. The best tip is to have the bow and stern lines running along the deck and step off from midships with both and drop one and you can always pick it up and pull the boat in if need be if its windy, or like that boat has a middle cleat that can be used
Its windy for sure but The boat at 6:24 should of had someone at the bow and stern. Whats actually nice about this boat is you have a midship cleat which you can put a rope through and step off and tie off with and put the boat in gear running ahead and it will keep the boat alongside until you get a few more ropes out for windy conditions.
Scary stuff at 10 minutes in, I think the boatyards need to spend a little more time on mooring technique, holding onto ropes and power is not a good mix, I get that it is windy but a lot going with people try to ‘park’ like it’s a car!
yes we did enjoy it
wow , what chaos , it wore me out just watching it all lol , i did'nt think that last boat was going to make under the bridge , it looked very tight .
Hi Johnny. The boat at 6.00 having trouble getting moored was a commodore/commander from Richardsons. We were there 2 weeks ago on commodore 3 and had a great time and we had an audience going under Ludham bridge both from and to the boatyard with no more than 2 inches to spare.
It's worth noting that in the boat description and other publications the airdraft is given at 8'9" or 8'6" whereas there is a plaque on board by the helm stating the bridge height is 8' !!
And they let these people loose on the river.😱😱😱😱😱
Will be there 1st July can't wait
If they faced the boat into the wind they would have more control. I See this every day around falmouth harbour.. when im on the Tugs working
We're the people who moored Infront of you unable to read or did not understand what yatchs and demasting ment
A very good question……
Hilarious 😅😅😅😅😅😅 like Life in slow motion 😂😂... way too busy the broads boats are ridiculously large ...
Hi Jonny, it’s Monday morning of King’s birthday weekend here and I have just woken up to your video. Filming from the boat must be a lot more comfortable for you in these conditions. The wind can make things difficult if you don’t know what you are doing. All the best from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺. Have a good week. PS Did you have a look at my additional comment on your video of about two weeks ago?
Oh I’ll look!
The green mooring posts are for yachts to moor to demast, not for general mooring!
Yes they are but still the boats continue to moor there…..
Surely there is signage to that effect or are they to dumb to read
Yes there is clear signage
I thought you were going to film some of the 3RR 😢
It was so busy I couldn’t get near, I had to work in the morning otherwise I would have got down there early to secure a spot.
Allo
Comedy of errors watching those idiots faffing about trying to moor up... and I think it had bow thrusters too... I was waiting for a rope fouled prop.
