Mooring...What are your thoughts

Hi all,

We went through much of the same at South Down a few years back. Our jetskis are on moorings and we have been told that the jetskis can not be fastened to the dock in any fashion. So a recognized mooring appears to be completely freestanding from the dock. Our jetski moorings used to be tied to the dock and they are now freestanding with about a 250 lb weight/bouy to the bow.

I think that you have a few choices:

Fasten the jetski to the dock (if this is approved) using rope or dock whips etc...
Install a davit to lift the jetski out of the water
Apply for a mooring permit and moor the jetski without attachment to the dock

Hope this helps.
