I think we should all take SDS drills with us and those expanding concrete bolts so we can tie down wherever we go! ![]() It's a valid point though, I always remember taking those dog screw things to tie into, at least it was better than nothing. |

Only time my boat was damaged in the boatpark the boat next to it was blown over. Said boat was still securely tied down while on its side and on top of my boat (only a dent in the side and a hole in the cover).
Take care that if you have a rope just looped around the mast then brought down to the other side the mast can work it's way along, sort of like a ratchet in some ways, the wind moves it along but when there is a lull it doesn't always return to it's starting position. In my case the boat also came off its trolley (whilst still tied down) which gave it more slack in the tie down. In my experience of boats in storms frequently the worst damage is caused by boats own trolleys, especially if they don't have a proper cradle, as the boat can stab itself on the sides of the bunks as it goes over without the trolley. Special care should be taken if your boat is stern to the wind, the worst damage I have seen was caused to GP14s that were lifted by the wind under the stern. |
