On a quay wall, the issues are rise and fall, swell, tidal or river current, and the shape of the pier surface in contact with the boat. Bow and stern linesneed to be taken well forward and aft respectively along the pier; the more the rise and fall, the further in each direction. The idea is to keep the angle of the lines shallow so that they don’...
With piles, it’s unwise to secure the bow line first. Approach from the leeward side and against any current or tidal stream, with a line attached to the aft mooring cleatand brought amidships. Bring the boat close enough to secure the end of the stern line to the first pile. Then motor slowly up to the second pile (taking care to keep the slack of...
Rafting up is a handy way of avoiding having to deal with rise and fall, and is often the only option for an alongside berth when piers and pontoons are crowded. It can be a sociable experience; we have made many friends in raft-ups. There are some basic rules. 1. Always try to raftup to a boat that is bigger than yours. A heavy boat rafted outside...
Bilge keels
A bilge keelboat clearly has the advantage of being able to dry out upright. The dos and don’ts are fairly obvious: 1. A flat, or nearly flat, regular surface is called for – hard sand is ideal. Rock and boulders are to be avoided. Mud is fine so long as you have no plans to get ashore. 2. There is a risk of bumping on the bottom as the boat is drying out and refloating, if there is any swell, or passing traffic creating wash. Not a problem in soft mud. 3. Consider how you’re going to get off...
Lifting keels
Like bilge keels, a lifting keel allows the boat to dry out upright. All the same considerations apply as for bilge keels, but also make sure the rudder will be OK. On a muddy bottom, the mud can start oozing up into the heads and the engine cooling intake, and it’s wise to close seacocks – but don’t forget to open them again! Remember that when motoring in very shallow water with the keel up, sand and mud can get sucked into the engine cooling water strainer. Keep the revs down and check the...
Legs
If your boat is equipped with legs, most of the same principles as for bilge keels apply. A soft muddy bottom is unsuitable. The boat should rest on one leg and the keel, so if the legs are adjustable, make sure they aren’t too long. If the bottom is a bit soft, a leg can be inserted into a metal bucket on a lanyard to spread the load. If there’s a preferred side of lean, put heavy weights like water or fuel cans on that side of the boat.
This technique is handy for quick underwater maintenance jobs – clearing a fouled prop, scrubbing and even antifouling. It can have its drawbacks if you’re planning to stay aboard overnight, though. A suitable bottom is always required; hard sand or concrete are ideal (a slipway is usually OK if you’re not going to block it), or shingle. Mud can be...
Careening is the ancient art of drying a vessel out on a beach for maintenance or repair. Large old sailing ships would normally lie with a modest list, and most modern ships would dry out bolt upright, but single-keeled yachts lie on their bilges, nearer horizontal than vertical. The main concerns are: 1. Choose the surface very carefully – smooth...
A berth is basically an area where the ship is moored onto the bollards and where the cargo is loaded or discharged on and off the ships.. The land area surrounding the berth is also sometimes referred to as a quay depending on where you are from..

A mooring is any permanent structure to which a seaborne vessel (such as a boat, ship, or amphibious aircraft) may be secured. Examples include quays, wharfs, jetties, piers, anchor buoys, and mooring buoys. A ship is secured to a mooring to forestall free movement of the ship on the water.
