I've had moorings and I've had a slip. Again, it's entirely based on
the area to find a preferred method. Slips on City Island are simply safer than moorings and a boat in a quiet slip takes less abuse and is easier to maintain in a slip. The mooring offers no advantage at all and just costs you more time. If we want extra privacy, we have transient moorings just north of the slips. We also have a lot of friends who come sailing. The slip is easier for that as well. A boat in a slip also has it's batteries properly charged, and easier way to prep the boat, make repairs and so on. After every sail we hose boat and gear down with fresh water. Sure, you can bring your moored boat in do all that, but it's an extra step. The best maintained boat we see here are in slips. Again, this is widely dependent on the area and exposure to a marine or mooring field. Mooron's sweeping comments about moorings somehow being better proves that he knows little about that.
