ANCHORING & DOCKING

Mooring and Anchoring Products

In the world of boating, the action of anchoring consists of securing the boat to the seabed using a rope or chain, either with an anchor or a mooring block.

Safe mooring is an important part of navigation. To properly moor a vessel, essential anchoring equipment must be used.

Fenders are the bumpers of a boat. They are used once in port to prevent the hull from getting scratched or damaged in case of collision or close contact with another boat.

Ladders and gangways are fundamental elements of boats, allowing users to comfortably board their vessel. Ladders are ergonomic and foldable for greater convenience and minimal space usage.

Boat hooks are essential tools for assisting with anchoring and mooring, as they allow you to reach and secure lines, buoys, and other elements from a distance.

Difference between mooring and docking

Mooring refers to lassoing, tethering, tying, or otherwise securing your boat to a fixed object, such as a mooring buoy, rather than dropping an anchor to secure your vessel anywhere you fancy. You can moor your boat to a mooring buoy, dock, quay, wharf, jetty, or pier.

Docking your boat refers to pulling your vessel up to a dock as parallel as you can, and then using ropes (dock lines) and nautical knots to secure (fasten) the boat to the dock.

Anchoring and Mooring

Anchoring your boat refers to dropping a large heavy object that is attached to your boat into the water, where it latches itself to the seabed with hooks and suction to keep the boat in place. You can anchor your boat anywhere if you have an anchor cable (known as an anchor rode) that’s long enough.
