When at any of the MCYC moorings, please fly the MCYC burgee from the masthead or starboard spreader. Every fifth boat on either side of the mooring must put out an anchor.

How do I raft up?

Request permission first. Then put out plenty of fenders and prepare lines(bow, stern and two springs). Come alongside slowly when ready. Run lines directly from cleats, not through chocks, bow to bow, stern to stern, bow to quarter and quarter to bow. Make sure masts and spreaders are not abreast.

Use chafing gear. If you are the fifth boat from the mooring or an anchor, put out your anchor to windward. Break up if weather or waves threaten.
