We've had a few sailors report trouble with their moorings lines and or dragging their anchors. This can be very stressful, not to mention dangerous to your boat and other peoples. Here are some tips to help:
Check the depth at the lowest astronomical tide to make sure you will still float. The draft of your vessel needs to taken into account when mooring up. If there is a catamaran nearby they move very differently on moorings and may not swing into the wind. Check they are far enough away that they will not entangle with you. Tidal flow could effect how you board the boat and pick up buoys. Be safety and surroundings aware. #boat#berth#safety#jet#washing#dry#dock#paintmyboat#maintenance#turks#goodbudget#washoff#hull#chatham#medway#swale#faversham#kent#anodes#survey#swing#mooring#
