I always think mooring chains are better on Armco than the hooks; before I saw the ones with rings on each end, I used a length of chain with a karabiner to connect the ends and slip the mooring rope through - never had any problems with that! |

Always worth carrying a spare spike I reckon. If you are on a canal and your budget runs to it then also get couple of "staples" (aka armco hooks) and a couple of mooring chains. They can be used anywhere there is metal piling and are quicker, easier and more secure than spikes.

I'll bet you never use the third. Just buy 2 and see how you get on.

You can buy those - about 650 - 700 mm long and 20mm diameter, with an eye welded on just below the top, and a good lump hammer to drive them down.
Get 3, bow, stern, and a spring.
The cost of boating is insignificant compared to costs of a young wife and two teenage kids! |
