My mooring pins have been ripped out a few times, but I've discovered that 3 in each end seems to be keeping her in place nicely now.<BR/><BR/>The tiller-bar that I found on the magnet also seems to make quite a decent mooring pin ;)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985908158175489080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29964051056420529.post-898458418535104652008-04-18T12:41:00.000+01:002008-04-18T12:41:00.000+01:00You can shout till your throat is sore you will ne...You can shout till your throat is sore you will never get the buggers to slow down. Two tips. Get some good heavy duty moorings pins, not the silly little knitting needles they call mooring pins in Chandlery shops. I saw one that had come off a lock gate it was the one that ran top to bottom, which was chopped up. Also the other thing you can do is spring the boat, both ends. This reduces movement and so you are less likely to pull your pins out.Whitewaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07345583371456728697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29964051056420529.post-32263196179533439862008-04-18T12:39:00.000+01:002008-04-18T12:39:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Whitewaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07345583371456728697noreply@blogger.com
