Storm prep tidal surge 1-sided tie up mitigation

Post by jbd3 »

That's a mouthfull for sure but as a canal-dwelling C350 in hurricane country this merits consideration by those in a similar situation. I bit the bullet and this is my dock. 2 attachment points requiring no spring lines, fenders, and most importantly, no manual adjusting during times of high and low water. My 350 has survived multiple hurricanes but it has done $$ in dock damage, 12 inch pilings with one dolphined to a second one.
