Newport in the Water Boat Show Floating Docks Proven Strong and Safe Safe for 100 foot Boats! Using Existing Moorings • One vessel tied to a mooring requires extra side to side and up and down space due to the tides and wind. • Spreader lines between two buoys become a hazard to power boats and sailboat keels each time the vessel leaves the mooring ( especially at night ). • Capturing your bow AND stern line on a 30 — 50 foot by yourself in windy, high current or at night can put you and your neighboring boat in jeopardy. Even with two people it is tricky. • Same goes for when you leave your mooring by yourself. • Unless you're a member of BYC or NHYC your likely not going to find a dock to wash down your boat or fill it with fresh water. • Public pump out docks are the only source of water for majority of moored boats or the fuel dock. Their purpose was for pump out only not wash downs, and refilling water tanks. • Washing your boat when you have a mooring becomes a timely task. Boats need at least one wash down per month to protect the value and usability. Boats on moorings rarely get washed. • Bi- annual maintenance of mooring tackle would not be necessary. • Managing tackle maintenance for Harbor Patrol is time consuming, costly. • Moorings not maintained can cause the vessel to break from the mooring creating a major hazard to other boaters and dock owners.

Very difficult to moor to when separated. In high boat traffic areas spreader lines end up getting run over and fouled by propellers. Here's a couple of examples of spreader lines just dangling in the water ready to get fouled in a prop.

Conclusion • 1 see the future of storing boats in the harbor changing. Marina owners are replacing their old docks to provide space for fifty footers and even longer if they have room. The trend is for bigger not smaller. The dock I propose would allow for different sizes as demand comes and goes. Or, the City could require a percentage of the new docks be for whatever size they want to offer. • 1 have been told the moorings were originally put in to provide a low cost method for boat storage. Seventy years later I don't see boats as "affordable ". That is simply an oxymoron, especially now with fuel costs and the increase for the annual moorage fee. It's now the MARKET RATE not the AFFORDABLE RATE. • As a boat builder I am acutely aware of the costs associated with boating. What I see in the mooring fields are boats that are never ever used and could not be safely taken out to sea in any condition. I see nice quality, newer boats on mooring fields with ONE POINT MOORINGS. One big reason is because it is much easier and safer to connect and disconnect from. The Duffy Dock will provide the same experience. • With the recent increase in mooring fee's and the elimination of equity for the permit holders those using moorings are seriously questioning the value. Is it worth storing a boat that is rarely used? I would suggest the trend will be many will give up their moorings as it's just not worth the higher cost. • Securing your boat easily to a safe dock with electricity and water would go along way in helping to justify the high cost of boating. • Essentially cutting all the mooring fields by 50% while keeping the same number of permitted holders would add back precious open water for everyone instead of a chosen few. We have more users than 30 years ago yet we have the same amount of open water. Here's a chance to make the harbor bigger, the moorings safer and more practical for boating. • Duffy Docks can be phased in. It is not necessary to install all at one time.
