French trawler berthed in Walton Yacht Basin

The former trawler 'L'Aurore', registered at Camaret in Brittany, is berthed in the non-tidal basin which is managed by local yard Bedwells for the Walton Yacht Trust. http://www.wfyc.co.uk A depth of about two metres is maintained within the basin by means of a sill which is only opened for a short period before high water. At some neap tides there is insufficient depth outside to allow the gate to be opened.
