Anyone with boats in and around the middle harbour area have any reccomendations for mooring contractors. No one seems to particlarly mention contractors in the forum. Is that a no no here. Am new to boating and the forum so not sure of the do's and dont's.
Hi all
In Tasmania M.A.S.T stipulate that moorings should be lifted and inspected every at least every 2 years
I generally have both of mine done every 18 months or so and Russell and Lynn from Southern Mooring Services 0457811070 that do mine are a pleasure to deal with
They have a well equipped boat and like the owner of the mooring to be present and when the mooring is lifted, cleaned and inspected so if they see something that they believe needs to be replaced they explain why and get the go ahead to do it
I have total faith in them and it is nice to know that the mooring is not going to let go when it is blowing a gale
Regards Don
I would have an issue with the "should be lifted" bit. I get my mooring serviced by a mooring contractor that dives it every year and has done for the last 18 years. He can still see all the important bits but over the years it's sunken nicely into the mud for an even more secure anchorage. I think pulling it up now would be detrimental to it's efficiency.
I guess saying that though, "should" is a suggestion so "should be lifted and inspected" is different to MUST be lifted and inspected...
