22. Basis of the Study
As far as possible data was obtained from Marinas directly
Some data obtained from the Internet
Assumptions were avoided as far as possible
Some rates had to be calculated from data supplied
The whole study will be fed back to all contributors, to them, many thanks.

23. The Yachts A Cross Section of Typical Yachts was used:
A 40 ft / 12 metre monohull sailing yacht typical of the local cruising market
A 46 ft / 14 metre catamaran, typical of the bareboat charter market
A 65 ft / 20 metre monohull yacht, typical of the higher end cruising market
A 130 ft / 40 metre monohull motor yacht – a mid-range “Megayacht”

24. Calculation
Rates were calculated per night for each yacht type for the following periods:
The “High Season” between December & May
For daily visitor berthing
For monthly storage berthing
The “Low Season” between June & November
For seasonal storage berthing
The complete year for permanent berthing.
