Hi,
I'm due to install my mooring over the next few days. It's a 32ft bilge keel boat with a weight of around 6 tonnes, on a fixed mooring, in a 60ft x 40ft box.
The berth is a drying one, with lots of silt maybe two or three feet on top of each of the four sinkers which are at each corner of the box.
My club and supplier have already done the math, so this thread isn't about the spec of the chain, shackles, etc.
As I've never done this before, I just wondered whether anyone has any snippets of advice that will make the actual installation easier ...or save me from making stupid mistakes that I subsequently have to go and unpick?
Thanks in advance!
