Last season I read with interest the How-To on Maine Sail's website detailing the use of floats on the mooring pendants to prevent tangling. I have always used two unequal length pendants, with a swivel below the buoy and I arrive many weekends to find a tangled mess of knots that I could not fabricate if I tried. I ordered the floats from Hamilton and put everything together this spring and anxiously awaited my first trip to the boat only to discover a tangled mess again. The instructions caution multiple times not to lace the lines holding the floats too tightly, so I did my figure-eights snug, but not tight. On inspection, it appeared that all the floats had migrated toward the buoy, and when the winds were slack there was enough line above the last float to drop below the floats and then catch. (How they create the tangled knots I find is still beyond me). This weekend, I re-did all the floats, lacing them tighter, and am hoping to find next weekend that they have performed as expected. The only other issue I see is my buoy is not round like the one @Maine Sail uses, but I am not sure that would make a difference. Attached are photos of a couple instances where I found a mess. I started with the first two floats fairly close together, mostly under the buoy, the others were spaced approximately 18" - 24" apart.
