Default Suggestion for a 4-800 lb. inexpensive mooring ?

Train wheels are good. One wheel with half the axle is what a couple of
friends in Baddeck are using. He won't tell me where he got them.

Another option are Crusher Cones, inner or outer, made of manganese steel,
from rock crushers. About 1000 lbs I believe. Some other friends of mine
use them. I'm not sire where he got them, he's had them for years.

Perhaps Paul Hashem's Scrap Yard on Brookland St. in Sydney could help.
(902) 564-6346 They may have other suggestions.


At the Halifax Boat Show in February, a local firm was selling concrete
anchors. Since I trailer sail I wasn't interested at the time.
I believe I still have the show program somewhere and could look if
anyone is interested.
