Been there, lost my boat
I had a SanJuan24, (full keel), and dureing Isadore, a TS a year or 2 ago, I was Moored on a Helix in Harris, The Narrows. That lil storm ripped my Bow/Mooring Cleat off. On my Hunter22 I am adding Backing Plates to Bow Cleat and 2nd Bow Cleat that I am adding. This boat is on a Trailer, but in Summertime I will keep her on my Mooring Helix, that thing stayed, the boat left.Rather than useing any Pad Eyes, I am installing Bow Line Chocks and an Anchor Roller, might be overkill for a 22, but is worth the $70 to me.Allways use MORE scope than is called for in any book or guide, and someone mentioned Size of Line, that is also a good point. If your Anchoring system calls for .5", then get 1", and add 2' of Chain Rode to whatever is called for. Ya also want Anchor/Moor line that has some Stretch, to 'stiff' and it snaps.
