Why is the Hazelett Elastic Mooring System Superior?

Added Security

Hazelett Elastic Mooring Systems reduce pennant loads by more than 50% and eliminate the severe shock loads produced by chain mooring systems. Our minimal scope requirement applies a constant lower holding force to keep the boat pointed into the wind which reduces the wind force on the boat.

Lower Cost of Ownership

The lower cost of maintenance and ownership makes an investment in the Hazelett Elastic Mooring System a superior choice for your boat. Our system eliminates chain maintenance and reduces overall system maintenance. However, it should be routinely inspected as you would any mooring system.

Environmentally Friendly

Under most conditions, a traditional chain rode is dragged back and forth across the sea bottom by the action of the boat. If the bottom is rocky, this will add wear to the chain. The chain also erodes the sea bottom and disrupts underwater habitat as it moves over the seabed.

Hazelett Elastic Mooring Systems are conservation moorings. They are floated above the seabed so they do not disturb the essential fish habitat. They return environmental and financial benefits to your communities.
