Another swing mooring question

[Mr Wolf]

Can anyone tell me the maximum boat weight the buoys at Pin Mill are designed to take safely?

I ask because I have in the past used them to stay the night in my old boat without giving it a 2nd thought but my new boat weighs in at around 22 tonnes and I would not want to inadvertantly break something through lack of knowledge.

Thanks in advance

Richard

22 tons = Anchor

 

[Mr Wolf]

Yes I had assumed I would be anchoring from now on, just curious as to what they are designed to take. Thanks for your reply.

It might be worth asking Gus at Kings. There are one or two further down river on the South side which have rather heavier ground tackle than the majority.
