ABSTRACT:
A mooring system for mooring boats (20). The mooring system (10) includes buoys (12, 13), tautlines (16), a gridline (14), and anchor assemblies (18). The 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 buoys(12, 13), and the gridline(14) being connected to the bottoms of the buoys (12, 13). The anchor assemblies (18) are attached to selected buoys (12) and urge the 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).
