sailingdog...

Stay away from the place. Such taxes have been tried before. That's £3000 for a few months... for me that's nearly 3 years mooring fees here in Scotland.

They are mad. Simply mad. It will drive the boats out of the state... all the income from that will go elsewhere, all the boat parts, carpenters, painters, engine mechanics, AND ALL THE TAXES ON WHAT THEY DO.

They are the ones who are going to have to vote out the local government that imposed this punitive tax. All you can do is complain, and point it out... and stay away.

I certainly will never visit the place.
