Same gear, same practice
Same chain, shackles, swivel and pennant. Attach at the top eye and set it with a mooring barge or service boat at the scope you already use.
Home / For Pros
For harbormasters & mooring servicesTake chain wrap out of your mooring field.
Wrapped chain is the problem you hear about at high tide. MoorSafe removes the catch point on the anchor itself, and it installs exactly like the mushroom you already set.
Why it fits the way you already work.
Far less to check for
Three bars form a cone above the stem, so the chain slides off. Inspect on your normal schedule. In the Casco Bay test, 28 days of tide wrapped nothing.
Tested outside our own bench
Tensile testing at Yale Cordage in Saco, and a 28-day field test on the seabed in Casco Bay, each head-to-head against a traditional mushroom.
Made in Maine
Designed, manufactured and tested in Maine by people whose boats depend on the result. Presented to the Maine Harbor Masters Association.
The data
Two tests, 300 lb against 300 lb.
A 300 lb traditional mushroom and a 300 lb MoorSafe prototype, tested side by side.
| Test | Traditional mushroom | MoorSafe |
|---|---|---|
| Tensile strength to failure Yale Cordage, Saco · 100-ft bed rated to 1.3 million lb | 38,560 lb stem fracture | 40,657 lb about 5% higher · joint dislocation |
| Breakout after 28-day embedment Casco Bay · 75-ft chain at 3:1 scope · 4,000 lb digital indicator | 1,575 lb partially buried | 1,295 lb fully buried |
