mooring Magnets
Mooring a smaller boat, such as a workboat or RIB, to a larger ship with a high freeboard can be a challenge when suitable mooring points are hard to find.
Blumags' Willy series provides a quick and simple solution for creating a mooring point directly on the hull or steel surface of a ship. Just attach the magnet to the side, and you're ready to secure your boat.
Choose between 500 kg (1100 lbs) or 800 kg (1750 lbs) holding force, depending on the size of your boat and weather conditions. Keep in mind that the actual holding force may be reduced by factors such as rust, paint, uneven surfaces, or air gaps. Thick layers of marine growth should always be scraped off before use.
Finding the Right Mooring Magnet for Your Needs
Choosing the correct mooring magnet is crucial for the safety and ease of mooring your smaller craft to a larger vessel. At Blumags, we understand the challenges you face when conventional mooring points are inadequate or absent. Our Willy series mooring magnets are designed to offer a robust and reliable solution, allowing you to create a secure mooring point on any steel surface of a ship effortlessly.
