Ionian Long Line Mooring with Nisos Yacht Charter

If you are anchored in a bay and you wish to stop the possibility of swinging with wind direction change, then this is a great technique to employ. You will also find in many bays that when there are other boats moored near by, you will not be able to swing safely, especially if the other boats are long lining. The best knot for tying to the shore is the bowline, as even when it has been put under significant tension it is possible to undo without too much effort. So get practicing! All Nisos yachts come equipped with long floating shore lines. The biggest hazard to consider when mooring like this is the dreaded prop wrap. The floating lines do help minimise this risk, but please do be extremely careful when engaging gear with any lines in the water near the boat.

Anyone have advise on whether to use a bridle with a catamaran when doing long lines to shore. Oh and thanks for the video!
