Dimensions and weight of the vessel:
The spring should be strong enough to support the weight of your vessel. Make sure you know the approximate weight of your boat and choose a mooring clip with adequate load capacity.
Spring Material:
Mooring springs are available in different materials, including stainless steel, aluminum and polymers. Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion and is often the best choice for boats that remain in salt water for a long time. Aluminum clothespins are lightweight but can be less durable. Polymers can be a good option if you want to avoid corrosion.
Ease of adjustment:
Some springs have an adjustment system that allows you to vary the length of the mooring without having to change the length of the rope. This can be useful in situations where you need to adapt to changing conditions.
Ease of use:
The springs should be easy to open and close, even with just one hand. This is especially important when you are managing the mooring yourself.
Local marine conditions:
The conditions of the area you sail in will influence your choice. In locations with strong currents or waves, you may need to use sturdier, more durable clips.
Price:
