ABSTRACT:
A mooring system for mooring a vessel off-shore, which comprises a block located in the water at a depth below expected wave action and at a distance from the vessel; a mooring line extending from line pulling equipment on the vessel, through the block and back, for releasable attachment to the vessel; mooring tackle attached to the block and extending away from the vessel to an anchor. The mooring line and mooring tackle form a catenary, between the vessel and the anchor, which has a curve adapted to maintain the anchor securely attached to the bottom and to maintain the block below the depth of expected wave action. Preferably, the mooring line passes from the pulling equipment through a fairlead located near the vessel's waterline, and then to the block.
