Hi all
We are looking at a swing mooring at parkstone bay this season. We understand that they can dry out completely. We have a 20ft bayliner so not huge draft but just wondering if anyone has moored anything similar and if it dries out completley that often? I've had a scan through the tides for April/May and i think it looks like it rarely drops below 1mtr. Interested to hear of anyone's experience?
We've never had a swing mooring before, we're struggling to find a pontoon this season, has anyone experienced any major security issues over at parkstone?
Thanks all.
 
It never dried out in the 3 + years I worked there, it does get shallow on low water but thats probs because the channel cant be dredged.
If its an inboard with stern drive, just trim it up & you'll be fine ??
