2. Semi-taut two point moorings
For calm, shallow water with limited horizontal loading, semi-taut two point moorings can be utilized.
These moorings are useful for suspending sensor lines by pulling the mooring lines free and clear.
Rough water, shifting bottom or horizontal loads can tangle two point moorings and lead to chafing and
cable failure. Use this mooring type only in controlled and calm applications.
