Mooring on Hoops?

[Jupes]

Help.....

We should be moving onto our new mooring towards the end of this week

Until we get some posts or cleats put in, we only have hoops which I am not used to

So...... how do I hook a duck, so to speak

Try one of these...............

Our bow is too high for SWMBO to use this from the bow so we reverse alongside now thread a bow rope through from the stern cockpit and walk it forward. Well that is how it should go

Suzanne, there is a moorfast on our boat somewhere, may be in the seat behind our boat. Jonathan is up there at the moment will give him a shout and see if he can find it.

Thanks Perry. I think I remember you posting something about this a little while ago. It looks a very handy device.

I am hoping we will have posts or cleats sorted pretty quickly, so would rather not spend £40.

Any other suggestions? !!

Adam, Hi

Is that at St Olaves???

Hi John

Its Suzanne. No it is a private mooring and not at St Olave's.

Hoops and rings, the Devil's work.

You could attach a couple of lines and pick them up with a boat hook when you arrive back at your mooring, easier than a threading device, especially if the rings are lying flat and you will not have to leave the boat until it's parked and has string holding it to the side.

Hi David

Thanks. That is what I thought would work the best in the short term.

Ian - would be good to borrow, thank you.

Have spoken to Jonathan, he will have a look in the morning, if it is there you are welcome to borrow it for as long as you like.

Much appreciated Ian.

Can you please let me know when we could get our hands on it?
