How to use a Haulout, Maine-style I have figured out a better way to moor Juliet while we visit her in Maine. At low tide I observed the haulouts that locals use to keep their small boats off the beach along Eggemoggin Reach. A haulout is just an anchor below the lowtide line, with a line continuously looped through it to the shore. PVC pipe is used, tied to the anchor, so the line slides freely as you pull it to shore. A neighbor offered that Jennifer and I could use his haulout for the week we were there, so it made things easier given the enormous tides in Maine. When we wanted to sail, we unlashed the line from two metal posts above the high tide line, and pulled Juliet to us and the sandy beach, unlashed her from the haulout loop, and sailed away to Torrey Island. Upon return, we unrigged our Wayfarer dinghy on the beach, then tied the bowline onto to haulout, and then we could pull on one side of the loop, and Juliet would obediently drift out to the offshore anchor, and wait through the high and low tides. Anytime we want to sail, she is at reach.
