Greetings, I would like to moor my 1978 Capri 14.2 but am concerned about using the existing bow plate for this purpose. Is it that strong? I will be keeping an eye on the boat and don't intend to moor in a storm but who knows what can come up fast. Would appreciate any suggestions, also length of line to mooring, chain etc. Also, would appreciate straegy for beaching on sandy beach with a bit of surf, usually on shore wind. thanx Ron [email protected]
