Mooring to toon in gales.........

[Nautical]

As some up this way will know the wind here has hardly let up for the last month with some pretty horrendous wind speeds.

Fed up running up and down checking fenders are still in place as couple of times the wind has been so strong it has blown them right over the rails onto the deck leaving the boat perilously close to the toon.

So me being the odd ball thought how could I keep her off the toon a bit ala med style. Slackened off the warps so the prevailing wind pushes her off so they become tight then run another off the stb quarter with one of them spring things then yank it up as tight as possible, another running off the aft cleat also with a anti surge spring and yank that one up tight. So now the boat is held in tension and can not bounce off the toon and can not go the other way either.

Went down during the last houlie and bobs your uncle no need even for fenders if you don't want em and she was moving far less than any of the other boats around.

Chuffed I am!, simple things impress the simple /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Stop posting pictures of the 39 will you.

hurrump - why isn't there a jealousy smiley???????

 

[Nautical]

ooops! sorry Jez /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif cant help myself, bored to tears here at the mo waiting for Sky man to turn up.

 

[Whitelighter]

Yeah, I'm at work. We never do much on a Saturday, but the PLC insists we open /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Anyway, been round the block in a 599, not bored again. I've started to look at boats again after LIBS which is frankly dangerous. Thought I might go for a Monte Carlo 37, but its not right. Ho humm, back on the web.

I know isn't it a nightmare when he posts so many pics of that georgous 39!!

Jezz, what don't you like about the Monte Carlo?

 

[Nautorius]

James,

He loves it but SWMBO would 'bin' him after hassle with 330. He has come out with all type of guff like "quality not good as show model, a bit spartan, not sure of resale" but he loves it and is trialing it in April (though I was told March???)

Jez wants a monte carlo...but realises a Divorce is VERY expensive!

Cheers
