Small Craft Moorings

.............................

Due to the ‘Construction Zone’, it has been necessary to re-configure
the seasonal swinging moorings located to the east of the fairways; as
a result, the day class swinging moorings will be located slightly further
north than previous years but still within the small craft mooring area
shown on Admiralty Chart 2793.

Navigational Information

.................................

Whilst the dredger and/or associated floating pipeline is on location the
‘Exclusion Zone’ will be at its maximum extent, mirroring the ‘Construction
Zone’ shown in Figure 1. During this period, No. 2 fairway buoy will be
moved approximately 75m to the north to mark the northwest corner of
the ‘Exclusion Zone’.
Cowes Local Notices to Mariners will be issued periodically, showing
the extent of the ‘Exclusion Zone’ and any impact on navigation in the
harbour. For more information visit the Cowes Harbour Commission
website at www.cowesharbourcommission.co.uk.
