This is cogent statement laying out considerations of
mooring/anchoring versus slipping.




I don't think such a list exists. Area by area folks adapt to weather
and of course the costs. The main reason why people use moorings here
is to save money. A slip for a 30 foot sailboat is close to 5K at my
club and that's a lot for occasional sailors. A club like City Island
Yacht Club will run you half of that and self-serve moorings can be
under a grand. Low lifes like Scotty aren't going to be paying that
sort of change when they can't even afford a good boat to start with.
Of course, with a vessel like a 35s5 I'm not going to hang her off a
mooring. We even have a J29 and J27 in slips because the owners felt
it was worth it to the upkeep of the boat. We also cater to two
seperate charter companies and both left thier moorings for the
safer...and far more friendly slips.
