Hey guys. I'm a armchair sailor trying to budget a 25' to 30' keeler. The only prices I can find on google are for marina berths, which are out of my budget. What do you guys pay for your moorings? Are moorings harder to find than a boat? Sorry for the noob questions. Any advice is welcomed.

25 a week for a mooring,
In Tas,
You may be able to find a free mooring somewhere as some folk are just happy to have a boat bouncing up and down on one to keep as much crap off them as possible,
Been there, done that
Some marinas have poverty pack spots for your size boat with limited use of power etc for much the same price or less... but you have to look for them
Been there, doing that...

Hey Donk.
I'm land locked in central Queensland at the moment, but the misses wants to move closer to the grandkids. I've agreed but only if I can get a boat. I was thinking Gladstone to Hervey Bay. I just need a rough idea on prices or advice on finding a mooring.

Thanks for the advice tired.
25 bucks a week won't be hard to sell to the misses. ??
That's a completely different ...and possibly quite complex...situation
Also with a swing mooring you have to add the cost of an additional suitable method of getting out to the 'big boat'
Ring qld maritime, they will let you know where the moorings are available. There is a waiting list for the popular areas
It cost me $52 a year for permits and you just have to service your own tackle
