Heavy displacement vs Medium Displacement for Ocean Passages
Rosalie B. wrote:
But I can answer about the bow sprits ... Now on a mooring, I don't think they do count. If you have a 37 foot boat with a 5 ft bow sprit and the length limit for the moorings is 40 feet, I think the bow sprit would not count. Our experience may differ, but I've never encountered rental moorings priced by length. I have certainly encountered moorings that are designed for particular lengths or displacements or drafts, etc., but they were all rented at the same dollars/day, Martha's Vineyard and Northeast Harbor ME are typical examples. Where have you paid different prices for putting different length vessels on a mooring? -- Good luck and good sailing. s/v Kerry Deare of Barnegat http://kerrydeare.home.comcast.net/ |

I meant that you wouldn't be allowed to rent the mooring at all if you were oversized. grandma Rosalie |

Bart stated: "Most heavy displacement boats have bow sprits. If a boat has a 5' bowsprit, do you add that into the total length of the boat when computing moorage charges? It would be a shame to get charged for 42' when the boat is only has 37' on deck and 37' of living space." Rosalie replied: "But I can answer about the bow sprits. Yes you usually do count them. You especially count them if it is a face dock. The amount of dock space you take up includes bow sprits and dinghy davits, and then they allow about 5 feet between boats. So many marinas do charge for the total "dock length" (as apposed to deck length) of the boat ... Now on a mooring, I don't think they do count.

Please note that I am _not_ referring to bowsprits specifically, but rather to the idea of renting mooring and charging by length. -- Good luck and good sailing. s/v Kerry Deare of Barnegat http://kerrydeare.home.comcast.net/ |

I'm sorry if I offended you. I should perhaps have made a paragraph between the bit about face docks and slips, and the section about moorings. We have been prevented from using moorings because our overall length was too great. (and we DON'T have a bow sprit) Altho IMHO it would be more sensible to factor in boat tonnage and not just length. The problem I had was not knowing whether Bart meant dockage when he said moorage, or if he was just talking about moorings, or if he was including both. I was assuming that he was using the term to indicate coming into a marina to a dock or slip. But just in case he meant actual moorings rather than a dock, I stuck that last 2 sentences in there. It was a separate thought. Sorry if it was confusing. grandma Rosalie S/V RosalieAnn, Leonardtown, MD CSY 44 WO #156 http://home.mindspring.com/~gmbeasley/id2.html |

Often I am not sufficiently aware of what's going on to be offended, and I suspect this was one of those times. I attribute this malady to overexposure to salt air and epoxy.

Funny how different people read things differently. I could tell when she changed the topic from marina dock length and charging by foot to a mooring where they don't charge by foot but may have "length limit". Especially since in the original post they were in a separate paragraph. Steve |

As a person well versed in things naval (and I suspect recent history also), you're probably well aware of how different dispatches and intelligence reports were interpreted in different ways by different individuals in positions of authority just before December 7, 1941. The consequences are well known. In fact it's likely that we don't even have to go all the way back to the 1940's for relevant examples. Just watching the current 9/11 commission hearings provides many examples that fit your observation. You're quite right, Steve. Different people read things differently. However the result is not always funny. Best regards, Armond -- Good luck and good sailing. s/v Kerry Deare of Barnegat http://kerrydeare.home.comcast.net/ |
