In this Video I show how to pick up a Fore and Aft Trot Mooring Single Handed in a Seahawk 17, 17 foot small Trailer Sailer Sailboat.

A Fore and Aft Trot Mooring are commonly found in crowded rivers and secure the boat to the Fore from the Bow and from the Aft on the Stern. They have the advantage of keeping boats stationary in a crowded area and are more compact than swinging moorings,

When setting up a Trott Mooring is it important to measure the length of your mooring and boat and select mooring strops to fit.
