The first poll - What type of mooring do you have

[ShipsWoofy]

This might not work, but I am playing, so lets see shall we;

 

[FWB]

I use swinging mooring for summer and marina berth for winter. So I need to be able to choose more than one !

 

[sailorman]

i also have a swinging mooring
sorry to cock-up your poll /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

 

[Talbot]

I have voted pontoon, but mine is not connected to the shore so dont have the convenience of a marina, but a lot easier to berth!

 

[ShipsWoofy]

Ok guys, I just tried to edit, but it will not let me back at the poll, handy reminder for the future!

Lets for the sake of this one, which I am interested in the results,

Your main mooring (summer)
Moored pontoons will count the same as a marina berth

Need to see about making a pie chart when most results are in too.

EDIT>> you think this is bad, wait until Powerskipper starts polling on the colour of our underwear etc. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

My vote did not register for some reason? its 23:20 here!!!
Anyway I have a pontoon mooring - which I brought (£2.500) and I pay a yearly maintenance fee (fee £200) new pontoon, water and electricity, security gate. Parking outside the gate. Fully tidal
Make you sick, all you on the south coast? and no M25 /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[Parsonsheath]

What underwear?

 

[bigjimi]

Why do moored pontoons count as a marina berth? You have to row out to them. You don't have electricity.

<font color="green"> What about the colour of the mooring bouy ...? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Or the colour of the mooring warps ... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif </font>

I've got a dry berth, so couldn't vote. Note to peeps setting up polls - put in an 'other' button for evenutalities you hadn't thought of

 

[chippie]

What is the difference between a pile mooring and a trot mooring? The term 'trot' isnt used here.

 

[ShipsWoofy]

What do you mean by a dry berth, my mooring dries on springs but is still a trot mooring. What sort of ground tackle do you have? or is this something else?

Agree totally about a catch all 'OTHER' choice!

 

[ShipsWoofy]

I treat a pile mooring as mooring between two fixed piles (poles), a trot as mooring between two buoys on risers, does that help?

 

[rich]

Mines A 4 point mooring ie: for, n aft, that dry's out!

 

[ShipsWoofy]

I really want to delete this poll and start again, I should have done a bit more research /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Maybe firer fox don't work?

 

[BrendanS]

Completely different.

My boat goes into a rack, by a huge modified forklift that can get it's prong things down in the water about 20' at low tides, wile still able to lift over 30' and move the prongs in and out to accomodate hulls.

So boat is on dry land all the time I'm not using it, so no antifoul, and no anode erosion. Just call them when you set off for boat, and it's in water and waiting when you arrive. Even better, it gets pressure washed everytime it comes out, so nice clean hull - and no antifoul! <g>

 

[Evadne]

Not really, my mooring's fully tidal as well, it comes in and goes out twice a day. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif. And anyway, the M25 is Oop North from where I'm sitting.

 

[chas]

It is very clever. I have tried all sorts of ways of getting more than one vote. It seems to recognise me even if I have not logged in!
