[alberg30] Permanent Moorings

[Gord Laco]

Hello,

I've installed moorings at my old sailing club in Toronto.   We used
concrete slabs with the ring connected to rebar.  Dimensions were two feet
thick and four feet square.   Once they sunk into the mud, they were
immovable.    We used 1/2" chain to a buoy, and two 5/8" nylon pendants to
the boat.
