I'm inclined to agree with this. There will be some losers such as those 
mentioned previously but on the assumption that a big extra chunk of 
money needs to be raised from boaters an across-the-board increase 
(where did the oft-quoted £150 figure come from) seems fairer than 
dividing us into factions along either marina/CC/EOG or narrow/broad lines.

BW own a good proportion of marinas so that's presumably those taken 
care of. Prices would have to drop for other marinas in order that they 
remained competitive in our beloved competitive marketplace ;-)
