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.
