Wasn't due to the mooring though - it was a brand new mooring. It had to do with the keel wrapping around it and chaffing through it. I posted to warn folks, not to be contradictory. If you have a look at this article, you'll see it was a 160 ft power yacht. Not really a keelboat. I wasn't suggesting one shouldn't check. And I should have read the story - I just saw the text and thought it was a different boat - missed that it was not in feet  This is different from the one I was referring to which was a sailboat. I should know better then to comment before reading Although it is important that even a brand new mooring could fail in the right circumstances.
