Pins—where to get them

I have been following the discussion about pins and screws and the like for mooring with interest, writes Roger Fox.

I have been using 24in marquee pegs for years, and have rarely experienced problems. The worst time was when a hire boat moored immediately behind me on the Trent & Mersey took both of them out from a standing start!

May I recommend a supplier of marquee pins which can be made in a vast range of diameters and lengths—Ansell Hand Tools of Sheffield. Their web site has the details: http://www.ansellhandtools.co.uk/marquee.html
