Mooring Pennant attachment to R23

[DeepSeaDyer]

Hi Everyone,
If in Canada trust you are enjoying winter so far and looking forward to boating season.

I am looking to change my mooring pennants this winter and seeking some advice.

I first tried using 3/4" ploy and found that this size was too difficult to use with both loops in the single/central cleat.

I changed to 5/8" which worked well from a size pot however it looks small for the size of the boat.

In addition, the 5/8" poly suffered significant chafing in the straight bow chocks after just one season.

I am interested to hear what other Ranger Tugs utilise for the mooring pennant configuration.

Thank you in advance.

I use chafe guards like this.

On my R27 the bow chocks appear to be set for an aft breast line. I added two additional bow chocks that were facing forward so the line did not have a sharp edge to chafe on. (skene chocks have a directional fit, port and starboard)
