we registered a transient 53 foot sailboat and put him in our heaviest mooring ...told him TO PUT CHAFFING GEAR ON THE MOORING LINE for the storm... Btw that's Flyers wife's boat the 53 footer hit and sunk
Flyers posted a pic and video of the 53' Swan towing on their facebook page...
...the power boat that made it to land in the pic I posted had an anchor on the bow... a fine recipe for disaster in pitching conditions... that configuration is a pet peeve - I don't entirely blame the owners who may not realize that the way the trusted manufacturer has the boat set up may work fine for a slip but not in harbors with a fetch to build waves... most of us learn by disasters - fortunately more often by seeing or hearing of someone else's than our own...
