Ever wondered what’s really involved in lifting your chains, checking your blocks, and keeping your boat secure inside the harbour?
Come along and hear Gavin and Mark share their knowledge — including Gavin’s tale of installing blocks for Revenue Cutter inside the boat harbour, and how a “mooring muscle boy” became a rocket!
You’ll learn:
⚓ How to inspect chains and spot potential issues
⚓ Why regular servicing (every 2 years) is the best protection in heavy winds
⚓ The story of the Punt — over 100 years old and still servicing moorings in Clyde Quay
The Mooring Punt isn’t a dark art — it’s a simple winch with rollers that does an important job. This is your chance to see how it works, ask questions, and even book a slot to have your mooring serviced so you can sleep well knowing your boat is secure.
