I have mooring wips for my D&M 22 in Key Largo, Fl. I have them mounted on
the dock at the bow and stern. They are at about a 45-degree angle. The
3/8 braid lines are tied to the bow cleat and inside stern cleat. When the
lines are pulled tight the whips have about a two foot bow in the middle.
We've only had 60 mph winds once in the past few years and they seem to hold
well.
