Pin Mill Sailing Club leases the area of the foreshore in front of the clubhouse, from the outfall of the sewage works to approximately where the cottages start, and the Pin Mill Bay Management Company previously administered the rest, however this has now been taken over by Babergh District Council and Associated British Ports. In these areas, PMSC and BDC / ABP are responsible for administering half-tide moorings.

The moorings committee administers moorings on behalf of Associated British Ports and are able to grant allocations within this remit.

You are of course responsible for laying and maintaining your mooring, but this can be contracted out to one of the local operators.
An annual license fee is payable to Associated British Ports. If you already have an ABP licensed mooring, and wish to pay your license fee CLICK HERE
