In memory of Captain Gregory Smith

MoorSafe exists because Greg spent twenty years watching chain wrap ruin seasons and knew exactly what the fix had to look like.

Captain Gregory Smith, 1988–2025. Maine Maritime Academy graduate, captain of unlimited-tonnage vessels in worldwide trade, and two decades in mooring service work along the Maine coast.

The three-bar cone was his idea, sketched from the deck of a service boat. We build every anchor the way he would have wanted it built.

Three bars turn the stem into a cone that significantly reduces the risk of chain wrap. Tested at Yale Cordage in Saco and for 28 days in Casco Bay. Made in Maine.
