Major Storm Preparedness

Early Season (June/July):

• Has your mooring been inspected within the past 1 ½ years? If so, did the mooring pass inspection or have the necessary repairs been made?
• Were the upper chain, swivel, and pendant line been inspected in the spring? Please note this should have been done as a part of de-winterizing the mooring.
• Is the mooring adequate to withstand a good storm? Adequate scope in pendant line, chain, and weight?
• If you plan to pull the boat, do you have a safe place to store the boat away from trees and water?

Hurricane Watch (24-72 hours before the storm):

• Chafing gear must be in place.
• All sails should be removed to reduce windage.
• Dodgers and all loose gear should be removed from the deck.
• Antennas should be taken down.
• Charge your batteries.
• Check your bilge pump.
• Check that all your hatches are locked and watertight.
• If the boat is tied to a dock, face the bow of the boat into the weather to avoid waves jumping into the stern of the boat.
• Tie the boat to several cleats and possibly to the pilings. Do not overload any one cleat.
• Remove ships papers, personal gear and electronics if you are concerned about losing them.
• Smaller boats and trailers should be pulled to safe storage. The sooner you do this the better because the boat ramps will be busy.
• Check your neighbors boat if they are out of town & possibly help prepare their boat.

Hurricane Warning (Up to 24 hours before the storm):

• Set your anchor with a minimum of 7:1 scope towards the most or predicted wind direction.
• Add extra scope to the mooring pendant with two additional lines if there is enough swing room.
• Obey all local rules and evacuation procedures.
