Early May storm hit the dock hard, we had 30kt sustained winds all weekend May 7&8, from what I was told there were whitecaps in the Marina. Couple of boats broke lines, including Full Sail. Our 1/2″ port bow line snapped! causing the boat to up against the catwalk post. Luckily John was sleeping on his boat and had his line break also and woke up, after he fixed his he tied a new line on for mine. The damage was just superficial and way above water line but will require repair work (but I will delay till we have time to haul out), but will not our use of the boat.
To prevent any occurrence I got new dock lines and doubled up most of them just to avoid any future problems.
Funny thing is I have been in that slip for 5 years, replacing the lines ever other year and never had a problem. But then we have not had weather like this in years.
