Hi Butchie,

I used to have a Capri 22 moored here in Sarasota in about the same depth and bottom conditions.

I used three 25lb danforth anchors in a "Y" configuration. The anchors were each connected to 30' of 3/8" chain to a swivel at the central point. From the swivel I had 20' of good 1/4" chain going up to a 12" mooring ball.

Then, from the ball I had two lines that went to the bow cleats. I also had a 1" rubber snubber in each line.

This configuration kept my boat safe thru hurricane Charley and several others with winds over 90. 

Unfortunately, my boat met it's demise when two much larger sailboats ( which were tied bow to stern on one anchor !!??!! ) broke loose and wrapped around my boat. The mooring held all three boats through the squall but mine was totaled.

I eventually abandoned the mooring and it has been in use since 2005.

I hope the info helps!

Best regards,

Bruce

Hi all.  I did not put Sandy Bottoms in the water this year.  Financial and time constraints.  However, I am considering dropping a mooring for next year.  Any experience out there?  I would be keeping the boat in an exposed area in about 7 feet of water.  Sand/mud bottom.  I have just begun to research this as a cheap alternative.  How much weight and what kind of mooring anchor?

Thanks,
Butchie
