as you can see we have a lot of mooring lines. we have doubled up on the lines fore and aft. we have breast anchors that go out sideways into the channel over here to keep the boat off the dock. so we have extra anchors, extra mooring lines, obviously, everything that can move on the boat has been stowed down below and we will be watching her every half an hour or so. reporter: i have been in harbors during severe tropical storms. if these things are not battened down properly they can loosen and they become a literal barge missile on open water. they can sway into things and cause destruction. i appreciate your time telling me about your weatherly vessel, the winner of the america s cup in 1962. new england hasn t seen a hurricane in 30 years. of course, now a tropical storm.
