This is my first sailboat. It is a ''72 C&C 30 MK1, fin keel, draft 5 feet (I was told), displacement weight 8000 lbs.
I am ASS U ME ing that I should have at least 6 feet of water under my boat at Low Low tide. Is this correct?
Most marinas have told me that a 250lb mooring is enough to hold my boat. Is this correct?
At the Providence boat show I saw "Mushroom Moorings" made from scrap train
wheels. They are 550 & 1000 lbs. Also very cheap! Is this a good alternative to a standard mushroom mooring if I am to put out my own mooring (I have water access).
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks
