     I moor my Scot in a Bay with a lot of variables; weather, boat wakes, strong tidal/currents.  I used to use a hard foam pendant with a 4′ , 1/4″ fiberglass rod sticking up and a weight on the otyher end, in the water.Due to the aforementioned variables, my boat is constantly rubbing into the float and the fiberglass rod – and giving my newly painted hull a few nice scratches.What is a better mouse trap ?I liked this pole idea because when I come in under sail, I can grab it and grab my mooring lines.  But, it is not worth scratching my hull. Any ideas as to how to avoid this problem ?

    I clip my mast bouy to the mooring bouy pendant only when I leave the mooring for a sail.  When I return, I pick up the mast, attach the pendant snap shackle to the bow, then remove the mast bouy and store it under the bow.(2101-Sayville, NY)
