"Tim, Have you tried a little more chain on your rode?? Joe Seafrog M17"
I have 40 feet of chain and 200' of rode when anchoring, but when on my permanent mooring I use about 20' of line with a snubber along with a slightly longer cable to the ball. Whether anchoring or mooring, a longer lead doesn't change the 'sailing' part of the problem. Thanks Joe. Tim.
----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Diebert To: 'For and about Montgomery Sailboats' Sent: Monday, May 31, 2010 11:13 AM Subject: M_Boats: Mooring Sailing I am wondering if anybody with a 17 has used a riding sail for anchoring or mooring. I have a permanent mooring on the big lake here and would like to settle the boat a bit more. No point making one and going to all that work if it has been shown in the past not to be effective. Any ideas would be appreciated.
