BOAT MOORINGS
Red Cap specializes in boat moorings using concrete mooring blocks or mushroom anchors. We mainly install the Hazelett Elastic Mooring system. We also install chain & chain/rope hybrid moorings.
We design our moorings to well-established safety standards based on mooring location, boat size & mooring depth, which prevents shock loading & failure in storms.
If your mooring is a single length of 3/8" chain, or shorter than 2-1/2 times the depth, or hasn't been inspected within the last 5 years, definitely give us a call.
SALVAGE & TOWING
Red Cap Marine has 110,000 lbs of lift bag capacity & has salvaged over 120 sailboats & powerboats from Lake Champlain & Lake Memphremagog, as well as local rivers.
We have also salvaged vehicles, UTVs/ATVs & snowmobiles that sunk through the ice.
We work with the Vermont ANR Department of Environmental Conservation & have fuel/oil spill & pollution control measures.
We provide emergency towing & often work directly with insurance companies, tow franchises (i.e. BoatUS), & the Coast Guard.
