During hurricanes I use at least 2 pennants if not more. They will be staggered in length so the first one has all the strain and the others don't have strain or chafe until the first one lets loose. I have never had one chafe through, but it could happen. You *must* have a swivel, I tried to

I don't know a lot about these, but will share some observations from when we used a friend's buoy last year, which is in an area notorious for losing boats: I experimented with a few things, but the best option I came up with was a nylon line from one bow cleat, through the buoy ring, then back
