YOUR LOCAL MOORING, STORAGE, AND SEA VIEW DINGHY MAINTENANCE SPECIALISTS
MOORING
We provide a selection of moorings, both off Seaview itself and Seagrove Bay in designated areas (please see the map in the Mooring Instructions for more information). These are available for RIBs & Speed Boats and from small dinghies up to medium size yachts.
Moorings are available for the season from 1st May to 30th September, weather permitting.
Outside of this period moorings can only be provided by special arrangement.
Moorings are available to all, membership of the Sea View Yacht Club is not required.
Mooring request forms should be completed and returned to us as soon as possible, please allow 4 weeks notice on mooring requests. Please note to help us better meet your needs we recommend you submit your request as early as possible for the season, as we have limited space in some areas.
If you have requested a mooring please ensure you have also read our Mooring Instructions as there is important information contained within. This will help us to provide you with best service. Please note the Sea View Yacht Club launch service, giving lifts to and from your boat is only available to club members.
If you have any questions please do get in touch with us. Details can be found below in the contact us section.
SEA VIEW DINGHIES
Warrens provide a complete service in looking after your Sea View One Design dinghy (SVOD) to include storage, maintenance, rigging, mooring and on the spot repairs. We pride ourselves in offering a top quality 7 days a week service throughout the season to ensure if something goes wrong sailors miss as little sailing as possible.
We are constantly looking at whether we can improve our service further and if there is any thing we can assist you with, please ask.
STORAGE
We are able to store a variety of boat types and sizes. Please do contact us for full availability.
HERITAGE
Formed in the 30's, this family business is now in it's fourth generation and was founded to both build and service the Sea View dinghies.
Since forming, over 200 of these dinghies have been built, almost exclusively by the Warren Family. Although boats are seldom built these days, the business retains the traditional skills required to maintain the fleet in tip top condition. With well over 100 boats active during July and August this class provides competitive racing for dinghy sailors.
Bob Seely Isle of Wight MP has visited and discussed the history of the Sea View dinghy class with Nick Rivlin.
If you would like to read more about the family and the business's heritage we were featured in the Association of Yachting Historians. The article is available to download and read here.
For the SVYC 125th Anniversary in 2018 the SVOD class saw over 100 Sea View dinghies participate in the Club Sail Past on Sunday 19th August.
