We have checked upon the Studland Bay Conservation Zone and there are no legal restrictions to anchoring there. No other changes; new charts and new prices

Update Spring 2016
Written by dononshytalk | 10th May 2016
These notes were reviewed by Don in May 2106. The MCZ controversey in Studland Bay rumbles on but , at the moment, no yachting restrictions are in place. There are no plans at the moment to provide mooring buoys there.

There are no changes apart from the removal of the Voluntary No Anchor Zone. That trial has been completed.
