In fact, there are many marinas that require you to remove the
boat during major storms, presumably putting it on a mooring!



Some folks do haul their boats at my club when a big blow is coming,
though only one sailboat does it. The others are pricey little
powerboats and they often do it because they won't come down to check
lines.
Other places see different conditions that require specific action.
But my point was really that folks like Scotty potty, who are dumb and
quick to make general comments, and disputing that slips can be
safer....are..well, dumb!

Yes, Scotty hooked you real good with that troll. You'll bite on
anything!

I love it when I start a thread/troll like this and then the entire
catch chants "we caught YOU!"
Hilarious!

Yup, its real funny. Scotty posted 3 or 4 words and that caused you
to write hundreds in response. And you look like even more of a
jackass for claiming a "victory"!

Not done here, but then this is a year round in the water place.
Yards are for bottom maintenance, not enough room to haul everybody.
Plus, with a Katrina type storm, being hauled and remaining at waters
edge is of no benefit. The practice is to head down the Sound and
then into the back waters to your favorite hurricane hole. But,
depending on the marina location, that could end up being 20-30 miles.
Depending on mast height, must be done well in advance, cause once the
land exodus begins it's 200 miles of bumper to bumper and they ain't
going to open the bridges.
