Just interested in what would be the biggest sib you could tie up on a visitor tender pontoon
without taking the mick' with the harbour/marina master and all the sailors! mines 4 meters and looks funny in a full sized berth tied up among large boats, it's not really the cost but more that I don't have to arrange a berth for 1-2 hours ashore

Never really given it any thought, but I'd sling any size sib in the tender bay.
Even a 4m sib is not much good if someone needs to raft up along side in the visitors berths.
Last thing you need is a 7m boat basically using you as an over sized fender!!! :o
