Q: will this work for mooring a sailboat?

11 years ago

3 Answers

A: This is a fender, not a mooring ball. It has only one end to attach to. Even if it had an end on the bottom for a chain it could potentially pull apart in a blow. They make excellent fenders for a boat when attached to a slip. Leave them attached to the finger on a slip and you don't have to pull them aboard when you leave the the dock.

Q: how do you inflate these buoys using a basketball pump and needle?

A: I really don't know about a basketball pump and needle. I used a small compressor with a blow gun attached. This may or may not help. Good luck

Q: I would like to use an 18 inch diameter Round vinyl buoy to hold up an anchor rope in a river with a 8 mile an hour current. I fish for sturgeon and must detach the anchor when fighting a large fish. I use 100 ft of 1/2 inch anchor rope attached to an anchor in 50 foot of water. I need a quick disconnect system in order to follow the fish without loosing the anchor and rope. What diameter buoy do I need?

A: I don't have any experience on river, mooring or anchoring, and am on a lake where the largest mooring buoy is 24 inches and they are suspending chain. I would think if there is that much debris being swept down the river you will have a problem with any type of flotation device. You could try two floats tied 20 to 30 feet apart and gamble that one of them would stay visible.

Q: What size buoy would I want for a 43' boat? I am using the buoy between myself and other boats out on the river.

3 Answers

A: I have a 35' sailboat and I have found that the 15quote size works very well. Of course, I have to use at least 2, sometimes 3 between boats of similar size.
