The Summer Season started 1st April (yesterday) with lovely sunshine and a cold wind. We’ll take that! If you just have a Winter Mooring with us can you please make sure that you are off the moorings now so that those who have paid for the Summer have access to their moorings. If you have…
All members who had Summer Moorings last year have been sent emails with Mooring Application Forms for this Summer. Please can you return forms (photos or scans of filled out page one and signed page two to admin@pnyc.co.uk) and make payment by 28th February to secure your mooring. We have so far had just one person moving from the pontoon….
I will be sending out mooring forms for Summer 2025 in the next week or so. Your mooring is automatically yours again for Summer 2025. If you had a mooring and know that you DON’T want it next year, please could you let me know as we have a waiting list. We have decided not…
The Summer Season, such as it has been, is almost ending – 31st October. We have spaces for this Winter on the beach or on a trot (£22.75 a foot) and on the pontoon (£36.75 per foot with no minimum size limit). Just contact Tom. Please can those NOT staying for the Winter, make…
Everyone with a mooring should have received an email from me about this coming Summer season. If you haven’t received a renewal email please do let me know asap. Many thanks for those that have already paid and sent in the forms – much appreciated. Paperwork and payment needs to be in no later than 29th…
Just another reminder that the Summer Season ends on Tuesday 31st October. All boats not staying with us for the Winter should be gone by then – any problems email admin@pnyc.co.uk . And may I ask that anyone who already knows that they DO WANT or DO NOT WANT the same Summer Mooring next week let me know…
These are ready for you all. The beach has been laid out, the pontoon is ready for all your boats, the trot and swing moorings have all been serviced. If anyone wants to use the slip and our jet-wash (£10 for a session) to clean their bottoms, just let me know You can also anti-foul on…
You’ll all be delighted, and perhaps a little surprised given the current weather, to know that Summer starts at PNYC this Saturday, 1st April. So all the Winter moorings need to be vacated by Friday 31st March. This does seem to have come as a surprise to a couple of mariners but it was ever…
So, another summer season on the glorious Helford is coming to an end. If you’re moving your boat off for the Winter, please can you do so by Monday 31st October. If you don’t think you’ll be able to do that for any reason, please do let me know in advance and we can see…
While the Winter fees for 2022 remain unchanged, we are going to increase our mooring fees for Summer 2023 and onwards: For the pontoon from £59 per foot or part thereof to £63. For the trots from £36 per foot or part thereof to £38.50 For the beach for 10ft and under £250 to £300…
The UG (Uncle Giles) has had a major make-over. Please can you make sure that when tying up the club tender you make sure that the bow can’t go under the pontoon! Within less than a week of doing our repairs on the tender, she was tied up in such a way that the bow got trapped…
A collective thanks to everyone for a pretty smooth transition from Summer to Winter. And congrats to Andy Bennett for his beautiful beach mooring set-up…a hand made cradle… …and the commitment to dive around the boat to check everything was good. He is available for hire I believe!
We have not changed the price of Summer and Winter pontoon, trot and swing moorings since 2017. We are therefore increasing the price of these moorings from this winter. In addition, the cost of beach moorings for 10ft or under and inflatable racks will increase from £200 to £250 (unless they are tenders for trot…
Sorry to raise this in August…. but if you already know that you would like a Winter mooring with us can you let me know. The pontoon is charged at £28.50 per foot (with no minimum size) and we have had boats up to 30ft wintering on the pontoon and taking advantage of being able to…
We have finally put the red marker buoy back in place so we have a very clearly marked entry and exit channel. The shackle pin worked loose and fell out. I was convinced I would be able to find the chain and stone since I knew where it was but after 30 minutes staggering around…
I sent an email round to chase some outstanding mooring payments AND/OR mooring paperwork and thank you to those who have responded. We need both. Apologies for any confusion caused when I said that members could renew by just letting me know the details were the same. This was just for membership, not for moorings as well….
With Seawide Services we are replacing all the trots and swing moorings this year. While the timing might be better, this investment has been on the cards for a couple of years as the lifespan of the existing stones was coming to an end. We managed to remove all but four stones whose eyebolts…
Every mooring has been spoken for. Thanks to those members that have returned forms and an even bigger thanks to those that have paid ! Please can I ask that all forms and payment for the Summer are in by 1st March at the latest to secure your mooring for another season. We have a…
We will be in touch with boat owners early January about Summer 2021. We were completely full this Summer and have a waiting list for pontoon spaces and a small waiting list for beach moorings for the coming season. If you know you don’t want your mooring again, I would be grateful if you could let me know (admin@pnyc.co.uk) so…
This week a local groundworks company installed a new drain across the entrance to the club in the hope that we can stop the continual flow of water and soil into the car park. I cannot recommend them more highly so if you have any need for groundworks contact Edd Jeffery – info@greenstonecornwall.co.uk. They also sorted…
For the first time since we took over, we have a waiting list for the pontoons, the beach and the trots for next summer. If you know you want the same mooring next year, or you know that you don’t, then I would really appreciate an email. The same moorings are yours again if you want them. The…
With 3 weeks left of the Summer Season, just a gentle reminder to all boat owners that moorings need to be cleared by 31st October. However, if you want to extend your stay, we can offer the cheapest Winter moorings on The Helford! We have some pontoon spaces for the Winter and have done away with the minimum…
We have decided to change the membership fee for next year, increasing it to £25 for the year. This reflects the fact that, at £15, it costs almost £2 a year in postage just to send out application forms and then membership cards to each member. I hope that this is acceptable. Mooring prices will not change…
The last two “thin” fingers have been widened to three planks. I was hoping to get this finished early on in the season, so am delighted that it has finally been done as we draw towards the end of the season. Almost “drectly”. For the observant amongst you, you might have noticed that there are three types of…
We have purchased a green marker (in place) and a red marker (to be placed) to make the channel to the Yacht Club more obvious. We have also added Max 6 Knots To Ferryboat just to re-emphasise the speed limits on the river. I think I ordered one size too big! When I measured it out it seemed to…
The trot and swing moorings have been serviced by Seawide Services. We have removed trots 1 & 2 to give more room to the boats on the pontoon by the Clubhouse and have replaced them with two new swing moorings. Not before time, we have also added boards and fenders to the landing pontoon and the pontoons…
All the moorings are ready for use and have been since 1st April. However, on the pontoon there are a couple of boats that are on the wrong berths because owners have not been able to move them from Winter moorings out onto their moorings on The Helford. When you want to get your boat onto its place on…
The UG (Uncle Giles) is getting some well deserved TLC. Phil Clark is very kindly making a new hatch cover for the forward deck and she is going to get a wash, a good internal paint and some danish oil on the woodwork. To do this work I will put her on the slip for a few days….
Does anyone claim this inflatable? It’s been on the wall of the shed for almost year with no name. I have put a notice on it but no-one has called. If I hear nothing by return, I have a buyer who will make a contribution to HRCST.
The beach is ready for anyone who is able to get their boats launched. I have laid out orange line to mark out all the beach moorings. The pontoons are also all ready. If you can launch your boat, can you let me know in advance so that I can check that your pontoon mooring…
Ant and I would like to thank all those who have paid their mooring fees while the crisis has been escalating and while not being sure about how these moorings can be used. We are also really grateful to all those who have renewed their membership or joined for 2020. What a year. But we…
Mooring applications have been sent out today to everyone who had a mooring last year so expect those in the post shortly. We will then send out invitations to join as members for 2020. We have had a few online payments where it has been impossible for us to know who has made the payment…
Mooring application forms will also be sent out to everyone who had a mooring last Summer. The fees remain the same as last year and will not change in 2021 either. Many mooring owners have let me know by email that they want their moorings again. If you haven’t already let me know, could you drop…
We have two yachts on the beach and room for more next year. We have also welcomed HMS Hocus Pocus onto the pontoon for the winter. If you still haven’t found a place just email admin@pnyc.co.uk. Thanks to everyone for getting off their moorings – even Simon Boote has moved his dory!
New members are welcomed and Social Membership is only £25 per year.
