New Boat Owner - Cardiff Bay

• Thread starter steveej
• Start date 3 Sep 2015

7m Sail Boat - where in Cardiff Bay. Choice of two yacht clubs, which is best? Cardiff Marina seems quite a bit cheaper than Penarth Marina but you might get put behind the foot bridge - how much hassle is this. Any locals have an opinion. Pontoons with electric would be nice for a couple of months due to having young children and a place where they don't mind me doing some DIY work on the hard in the winter. Come March, I hope to be in a much better position to decide what to do next. Join one of the clubs and put her on a mooring?  

Well-known member

I would suggest visiting both clubs and having a chat before making your mind up. I think CYC is a bit cheaper than CBYC but CBYC has a better pontoon system, about a third of the pontoons have electricity. Personally I wouldn't pay marina fees when you could be in a club . I have sent you a private message.

Cardiff Yacht Club operates on a one-off fee for your berth (plus a £60pa maint. fee) +membership fees so in the long run is cheaper - however the pontoons are versadock, and you moor mediteranian style against them, with moorings for your bow. There is no electricity or water on the pontoon system. Also, there is no fuel available in the club. Cardiff Bay Yacht Club is an annual marina fee +membership fees, but you moor normally (alongside) a proper pontoon berth. (which is also more sheltered as you are up-river) All the pontoons have water, though only A-E have electricity. CBYC has it's own deisel fuel. There is currently a 12 month wait for berths (according to website). Penarth Marina oviously has annual marina fees, and you have a proper marina berth (as CBYC) though you pay more per year (even inc. CBYC membership fees). All pontoons have water & electricity. There is diesel & petrol available. Cardiff Marina also has annual marina fees, and costs similar to CBYC's total, and again you have a proper marina berth. Water and electricity to all berths. deisel is available. You may be berthed up-river of pont-y-werin bridge. This isn't a problem though as you just radio barrage control to lift it (though they'll only lift it twice an hour during the day, and once an hour at night) Out of the two yacht clubs, CBYC has a better pontoon system, and only CBYC has electricity, though CYC is cheaper. Out of the marinas, Cardiff Marina is cheaper (similar to CBYC), though Penarth Marina is a bit quicker to get out of (due to it's position)  

Cardiff Yatch Club does have water on C pontoon. I joined about 5 years ago. An incredibly frendly place. If refurbishing a boat there is power and Water in the yard.  

I'm curious as to why so many people need 230v? What do you use that the boat system can't provide?  

its a small boat with an outboard. Batteries are charged from a solar panel. British weather tends to be cloudy.

Although a little late. I would also ask about Security. As don't think some are Manned 24/7.  

Cardiff Bay Yacht Club has a waiting list for pontoon moorings but it usually is less than 12 months. Its more expensive than Cardiff Yacht Club which in turn is a bit more like a traditional sailing club. Not to say that CBYC is snooty or anything like, but it has become more of a marina with a club attached. Lots of big power boats with absentee owners. So if you are the sort of individual who likes joining in a clubs social life, maybe CYC is a better bet. Both clubs allow you to work on your boat on the hard but in the case of CBYC it isnt cheap after the first month because onshore space is short supply. Boatyard facilities are excellent with good professional staff handling lift outs and launches. Cant comment on the CYC facilities - not a member there. The CYC pontoons are third rate IMO requiring you to pick up a stern line and moor bow to before leaping over your pullpit onto pontoons with all the rigidity of my stomach muscles. Sorry but I would class them as cheap and nasty. How far are you from Cardiff and in what direction? If you are central, northern or to the east then consider Newport Uskmouth SC. This is a trad sailing club with excellent facilities and yard space to do anything you want. Moorings come free with a membership that is just £200 or so pa. http://http://www.nusc.co.uk/ . No pontoons just river moorings and therefore no leccy. But the savings on mooring costs would fund several generators each year!  

Another recommendation for Cardiff Yacht Club. My annual fees are close to what some marinas would charge every month. No electric and not all slots have a tap nearby but if you need it, go over and pay the visitors rate at CBYC (£10 for 5 nights) and use their visitors facilities for doing maintenance etc. other than that CYC has all you could ever need. Friendly and good atmosphere. It's awesome being able to sail around the bay in flat water no matter what the wind or tides are doing outside, such a great place to have a boat!  

Thanks for the replies. I live in Bristol and work in Wiltshire so getting down to the club nights has proven difficult so far. I am currently in Cardiff Marina on winter rates which are not too bad but I will need to decide what I am going to do come April. Still haven't made up my mind. Having young kids (2yr old and a ten month old) is leaning me towards electric, water and a pontoon.

For me would be Penarth Quays Marina. Electrics, Water, Fuel, Chandlers, Restaurant, On/Off Pontoons and 24/7 security also with closed locks at night  

If you live in bristol, portishead is a far better option. CYC is the most expensive option for the first year as you have to lodge a few thousand pounds as a deposit to get a pontoon place You will be unlikely to get a pontoon with electric at CBYC, the first few pontoons are full of posh boats. The smaller and rougher your boat the further away you seem to be put. This is obvious from a quick motor up the river. Cardiff marina is your best option in the bay, as I believe there is no extra charge for being in the boatyard. The toilet/showers are pretty crap though If you want to be able to spend a lot of time on board then penarth or portishead marinas have far better facilities.

I wouldn't set foot in the place or anywhere else with only 1 star.They are taking the pi$$. The age concern café in barry is run by a group of unpaid volunteers they do cooked breakfasts and lunches so would have had the same inspection as pier 64. They managed 5 out of 5.  

• 12 Nov 2015

So did the Caf in the Marina, the pikey pub (oystercatcher) up the road, and the Custom House. Agree it's a shocking performance by pier64 and reflects badly, it has certainly changed my opinion of them.

Marks and spencer sale.

Marks and Spencer is a British multinational retailer operating under the M&S brand. It is one marks and spencer sale of the largest clothing retailers in the world and the largest selling clothing retailer in the United Kingdom. With over 700 stores located throughout the UK, Marks & Spencer offers a wide range of products including clothing, homewares, beauty products and electrical goods.

Marks & Spencer began as a small family run drapery business in Leeds in 1884. It was founded by Michael Marks and Thomas Spencer, who were both Jewish immigrants from Germany. The company expanded rapidly during the early 20th century by opening new stores across Britain and Ireland. By 1926 Marks & Spencer had opened 100 stores across Britain and Ireland but then suffered a decline between the 1930s and 1940s due to competition from Woolworth’s & John Lewis. In 1964 M&S acquired an exclusive licence to sell Barbizon products which allowed them to expand their clothing range with ready-to-wear as well as lingerie lines for women and children’s clothes for girls aged 2–14 years old; this proved popular with customers who could now buy clothes that fit correctly without having to alter them at home first!

Cardiff Yacht Club is a thriving yacht club that was originally founded in Cardiff in 1900. Today, the club is centrally located on the edge of Cardiff Bay, overlooking the Wetlands Nature Reserve, with panoramic views over the Bay and the Bristol Channel beyond.

We have about 300 yachts and motorboats permanently moored on either our trot moorings or pontoons in the freshwater bay. There are over 50 dinghies in the club and we have a fully equiped boat yard with 2 boat hoists.

Cardiff Yacht Club is situated on the Hamadryad Peninsula. These facilities are for the benefit of members or those affiliated through the RYA and CYC by prior arrangement only.

CARDIFF BAY

Visitors are welcome to temporarily berth on our Visitors Pontoon for up to 14 days.

Please register with the office, using form below:

APPROACHING CARDIFF BY DAY

When approaching Cardiff by day, the Rannie Buoy (Port Hand Buoy) marks the extremity of rocks and sand spit off Lavernock Point. The South Cardiff Cardinal Buoy marks the southern extremity of the Cardiff Grounds. From a position between the two buoys make a course for the Outer Wrach Buoy (West Cardinal Buoy). Follow the Wrach Channel and buoyage into the Cardiff Bay Barrage Outer Harbour.

APPROACHING CARDIFF BY NIGHT

When approaching from the South or West, leave the Rannie Buoy (Fl(2)R.5s) to PORT and the South Cardiff (FIQ(6)+LFl.15s) to STARBOARD. Steer a course for the Outer Wrach Buoy (FIQ(9).15s). You will pick up the Sector Lights for the Wrach Channel (oc 1Os RWG). Stay in the white sector until you pick up the buoyed channel for the Cardiff Bay Outer Harbour, and Sector Light (LFI. WRG.5s).

The 'preferred channel to starboard' mark at the start of the Barrage approach channel is for large vessels approaching ABP Cardiff. Visitors to the Barrage should leave this mark to starboard on approaching the Barrage Outer Harbour. Note: This has a flashing red light at night.

Note: Vessels coming from King Road (Avonmouth) are advised to use the South/West Approach. It is important that you keep a careful watch for large vessels as they are severely constrained by their draught and this restricts their ability to manoeuvre. It is also required that you maintain a listening watch on VHF Ch. 68 (Cardiff Radio) during this time.

When on your final approach, you should call 'Barrage Control' on VHF Ch. 18 to request a lock in. They will advise you of the next available lock and give the instruction when to enter the Outer Harbour.

When navigating in this part of the Bristol Channel you should use Admiralty Charts 1182 and 1176 and the appropriate pilot books. The information shown below is intended as an aid to navigation only and should not be relied upon for navigational use. Rather it should be used in conjunction with official charts and hydrographic data.

TIDAL ACCESS

Under normal circumstances, for average draft vessels (1.5m), full tidal access is possible. However, occasions will arise when the build-up of silt within the Outer Harbour will reduce access. Relevant information on draught and access will be passed on by 'Barrage Control' if the need arises. For present levels in the outer harbour, check out Cardiff Harbour Authority Website www. cardiffharbour.com 'Free Flow' (simultaneous opening of both inner and outer gates) is only possible through lock 1. Vessels requiring this service are required to submit a written request giving one month's notice. Letters should be addressed to the Barrage Team.
