I emailed them about the height of the Moorings. They can and will do significant damage to the bridge deck of a cat. The solution is to take the pennant on the ball directly to one cleat on the cat and run a dock line to the ball and back to the boats other cleat. Pull this somewhat tight so the ball is trapped near the front crossbar and can’t damage the bridge deck. It also helps in places like Cooper where ball spacing is tight and the wind and current may oppose each other. They need to order more reasonable height balls as a proper solution. G
