Big winds just hit Sydney, gusting to 48 according to SB and it feels like it too! So I dutifully checked my swing moored boat. Now she is a modern fin keel style with, compared to traditional long keel jobs, low wetted surfaces and lots of topsides. But too the point, she is really lively compared to other yachts next to her. I don't know if my mooring has less rode, but the yacht is tacking, quite frequently. She is riding up on the mooring and swinging from Porto starboard about every 30 seconds. I have been in some strong winds at anchor, but did not notice it. Most of the big and smaller other yachts are much more benign!
I have my stout new rudder lock holding the rudder centred, would that make her sail up more.
It was about as strong and rough as I have seen it at Gunnamatta, quite a challenge to wander out on the floating Marina.
