Hi guys,

I just bought a Gulfstream at the end of last season. This is the first time I have ever used a mooring. I was wondering the best way to moor the Gulfstream. I have the bow pulpit on the Gulfstream. There is a cleat on each side on the bow, as well as a cleat on the bow pulpit which is faced parallel to the boat (I guess is the best way to describe it). So I was wondering how most people moor their gulfstream ? Do you use one pendant, and if so, do you attach it to the cleat on the bow pulpit (my thinking is that the bow pulpit may not be as sturdy as the side cleats but maybe I am wrong there)? Or maybe do you use 2 pendants and attach them to each of the side cleats? I really have no idea what the best way is, as was hoping that someone who might moor a Gulfstream can share how they do it.

Thanks in advance guys !!!

Two Pennants. I pull one throught the center of cleat and then back over the cleat horns. Then wrap pick up buoy line around the cleat
