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!

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

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 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!
