Topic: mooring

Although you’re on the “rocky coast”, most mooring areas are mud and good holding ground for a mushroom anchor.  The amount of chain that is attached to the mooring is just as important as the size/weight of the mushroom.  Ask around and see what other people are using.  Although the Contessa displaces over 5000#, it is low on windage.  Everything will depend on the bottom conditions of the mooring area and its tides and currents.

Re: mooring

I am wondering what type of mooring system and size/weight one would use for Contessa 26 along the rocky coastline of Maine (Penobscot Bay)?
