I'm around the corner from you at the Samoset Condos. From the surface our moorings look like 2' x 2' x 4' granite blocks on a sand/mud bottom. We use all chain and a different mooring ball. The chain feeds up through the mooring ball. When we moor, our lines connect directly to a shackle on the chain. Seems stronger than your design. Our max boat size is 27' but mostly open power boats. Sailboats might have a higher wind load per foot of length.
