SAILING GLOSSARY

Mooring ball

A mooring is an anchoring system secured to the bottom of the water, usually with a concrete block or another heavy weight. A chain connects the weight to a floating buoy, to which the boat can be attached. Unlike an anchor, a mooring remains permanently in the same location and allows several boats to use designated mooring spots.
