Not sure I understand a "3 point mooring". In Southport CT we have fore and aft moorings. The uninitiated (and those who refuse to take advice / help from our staff), amuse bystanders as they try to pick up the pennants. (The trick is to use an extension line that clips on to one pennant to allow the boat to get closer to the other for retrieval)
