300-berth Marina Plan for Glasgow

Plans have been unveiled to build a new 300-berth marina in the Prince's Dock next to the science centre. - Link

What are peoples thoughts on this?

Buy shares in an anti-foul company, That water is well manky

Will be expensive as it is in the city.

its about time they done something with that big burn
been living and working next to it for the last 15 years , wonder what Lomondgate is all about

its ok , found it , nothing to do with water or boats http://www.lomondgate.com/

Glasgow new marina if run by the council they may have cheap berthing and if run by some High class corporate company could end up mega bucks.
I think if I was going to move onto the clyde I would go for Kip Marina or something alike. I believe they are doing something with the Bowling basin at the Forth & Clyde canal for berthing according to a rumour.

And just think of all the beautiful exciting places you could visit within 5 miles such as...umm...govan and umm...braehead...

It would take a half tank just to get to the sea, I could be at Duck Bay, Inchmurrin, Luss or Tarbet ( Each jetty has a bar next to it ) by then.

All very good points. Boating in the sea adds £££££'s to your costs. Servicing/maintenance, antifoul, fuel etc all run away with cash that you could spend in other areas. Then there's all the extra safety kit Passage planning, and that's all presuming HMS Whatever lets you up Loch Long / Gare Loch / Loch Goil (they are VERY protective of their "tin cigars" )


Nah, having been there, done that.....I much prefer to be back on the Loch. I do miss my fish suppers from the chippy at the end of Millport Pier though
