ABSTRACT:
A mooring system for mooring boats (20). The mooring system (10) includes elongated spar buoys (12, 13), tautlines (16), a gridline (14), and anchor assemblies (18). The spar buoys (12, 13) float vertically at spaced-apart locations and are interconnected by the tautlines (16) and the gridline (14), the tautlines (16) being connected to the tops of the spar buoys (12, 13), and the gridline (14) being connected to the bottoms of the spar buoys (12, 13). The anchor assemblies (18) are attached to selected spar buoys (12) and urge the spar buoys (12, 13) apart and maintain the tautlines (16) and the gridline (14) in a taut condition. The tautlines (16) are positioned above and parallel to the water surface (22) so that boats (20) can tie up along the length of the tautlines (16).
