Atlantic Mooring in Bermuda
Bermuda is a small Group of islands in the North Atlantic Ocean, Latitude 32N Longitude 64W. The location of Bermuda means that we get extreme weather through out the year with very strong winds gusting. We are also in the Hurricane belt and are hit by a lot of hurricanes. Bermuda has a very small land mass. This lack of available land means that Most of Bermuda's boats are kept in small protected bays around the island on moorings.
Understanding Moorings in Bermuda
Given Bermuda's limited landmass and exposure to extreme weather, most boats are kept on moorings in protected bays. A standard mooring system comprises:
Mooring Weight: A heavy anchor that secures the vessel.
Ground Chain: Acts as a shock absorber, providing stability in waves.
Swivel: Allows the boat to rotate with changing winds and currents without tangling the chain.
Upchain: Connects the swivel to the bridles.
Bridles: Custom-made ropes that attach to the boat.
Buoy: Keeps the upchain and bridles afloat.
Pick-Up Buoy: A small buoy attached to the bridles for easy retrieval.

If you're considering mooring options, AM can assist:
