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.

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.

I'm moored at Saba rock right now and was heartened to just see a moor seacure boat and diver proactively checking moorings. I'm assuming proactively because the ball was in use and didn't show any obvious problems.
