Re: Holding power of Mooring Ball required for hurricanes

5 tons sounds a lot, it kind of means that if a tug boat gave 5 tons of thrust it could lift 5 tons in weight.(Most of the tugs I worked on were greater than 80T). Don't know about elsewhere but when Cyclone Leanne (think?) hit the Whitsundays a few years ago, maybe 150 boats are still missing ie they were moored and the wrench effect pulled off the bow fitting and the vessels subsequently sank due to water ingress.
