UK Shore-Power Facilities Compendium

[martinwinlow]

I'm planning a rather long electric-powered motor-boat trip next year (originating in Sweden) around the south and west coasts of the UK and wondered if anyone knows of a list of available shore-power facilities at harbours/marinas (for overnight-charging) in those regions of the UK. It is going to be quite a task contacting them all to ask (I'm at 50+ charging stops for the whole 2350 miles so far... What else would I be doing in my retirement? ).

Ha ha, I know that feeling Martin!

As it's next year, give me some time and I'll make some enquiries for you.

Hi Lanfs, Sorry - I did not receive a notification that someone had replied to my original post...

Thank you. In the meantime there has been a 'lively' response on the other place I posted my plans on the YBW forum - most them have concluded that I have lost my marbles.

Also, I have run into a bit of a roadblock as far as insurance goes. No-one I have spoken to thus far is prepared to offer cover let alone cheaply! It seems hydrofoils are bad enough let alone an electric drive-train to boot...

Any help here would be much appreciated.
