Trailerability opens up many distant cruising grounds. Peter Hackett's F-27 at Butterfly Bay, Hook Island, Whitsundays,

Australia. Crew underwater somewhere. Such protected areas have dedicated moorings in fragile reef areas, and good

communication skills on board will be needed to pull the buoy up on deck with boathook. Secure directly or to a bridle as

described earlier.
