Mooring
Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2016 3:32 pm
I am planning on keeping my CC19 on a 1/2 drying mooring from August onwards and i wondered what the best way to attach the mooring to the boat is?
I have a furling yankee attached to the end of the bowsprit (and a furling staysail!) and don't really want to lower or detach this or fold in the bowsprit to avoid the waterstay fouling on the mooring
So i wondered what my options are / whats best? A bridle? Connect to the base of the waterstay? connect through the anchor roller onto the samson post?
Chichester Harbour have a guide to moorings which shows a shrimper attached at the base of the Waterstay but i am not sure how easy that would be to connect (see: http://www.conservancy.co.uk/assets/ass ... t_2011.pdf)
It will be the first time i have used a mooring for any boat - so any help, advice or instructions would be really appreciated
(i will attach a photo of the bowsprit without the yankee attached as i think it has a custom waterstay rope)
