Careful with that rebar....
In Response To: Concrete Mooring ()

In Porto Santo, next to Madreira, The rebar was set in the concrete in such a way that it could flex under load. Over time many boats have broken those moorings. Perhaps a very large eyebolt with a couple of nuts on it, set into the concrete would be a better solution. It is not how well it holds year one that counts - it is year 3+ that you need to be thinking about.
