The formula to calculate the Mooring Block Weight (MBW) is:
\[ MBW = L \cdot 10 + WS \cdot 5 \]
Where:
The mooring block weight is the weight required to securely anchor a boat, considering the length of the boat and the average wind speed. It ensures the boat remains stable and secure in its mooring position.
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate the Mooring Block Weight:
\[ MBW = 30 \cdot 10 + 15 \cdot 5 = 300 + 75 = 375 \, \text{lbs} \]
This demonstrates that with a boat length of 30 feet and an average wind speed of 15 knots, the mooring block weight would be 375 lbs.
