I have just done the following exercise. My first boat was 25 feet long and
acquired in 1967 my licence fee then was £12.10 s and that included mooring
which was not charged separately then.My present boat very slightly shorter and
in the next lowest category cost this year Licence £352+mooring of £608 giving
a grand total of £960. Applying the inflation indicator from 1967 to now, a
factor of X 13, or in licence terms £162.50 the real increase in this part of
boating costs is £795.50 or 490% and would have been even higher if my boat
was few inches longer.
How much more of my pension do they want before I give up?
