[ham] [Rhodes22-list] Mooring Pennants

[Ronald Lipton]

I used a mooring bridle, sort of a "y" arrangement of lines with
a line led to a chock on each side of the boat.  A floating pendent
is important to make pick-up easy.   The harbormaster's office or
West Marine provides them for the Chicago harbors.  I can
take a picture of it and post it this evening.

I have never used a mooring. I looked in all the books and there seems to be
a variety of mooring setups. Would you want to describe the different
moorings you have seen and how to pickup and hook up the mooring lines.

Thanks

stainless snap shackle to the bow eye (5/8 3 strand with SS thimble and a
real splice, you need a galvanized thimble for the mooring
ring), the boat will ride good from it and easy to deal with.  The backup is
an independent system(i.e back to the ring/chain)
thought chock(chafe guard here) and to the bow cleat loop, the second one is
made to be loose and will only come into play if the
bow eye fails systems fails. you could make the bow cleat a double system
but that a little much.

BTW you might want a float pole to make pickup easier

Windswept is almost ready to get wet in Salem Harbor.  This is the first
time I will be mooring her.  What's the consensus - attach
the mooring pennant to the bow cleat through the chocks, or use the bow eye?
