Boat Whips vs Boat Lift

[NoBozo]

I LIKE the Kedge Anchor solution that was recommended earlier. A Kedge anchor is NOT A MOORING. It is a large (storm) Anchor..like a Danforth..or maybe a CQR placed out away from the boat to Windward..in the correct position..to be determined... by the conditions. Trial and Error. . It is an Anchor ...so you are not bound by any stinkin Mooring regulations.

The kedge will have Chain AND Nylon from the anchor up to the boat. Just like an anchor. Simple. DON'T YOU JUST HATE SIMPLE....?? NB

BTW: If you put a granite/cement "SINKER" out there...you GOT a Mooring

anyone thinking about whips...please research/contact Gordon at mooring products international....i would never trust my boat to any other product...these whips are top notch. to each his own however...

I would have agreed with you but in the incident I cited, the MP's point of view was that if you left it in the water when the boat left, it was a mooring.

FWIW - A block can be used as an anchor. A 'mooring' can utilise an anchor. It's a case of function not form.

Like boats, all Whips are not created equal. The whips I often see at places around the lake are not very big. They can be expensive depending on size. You get what you pay for.
