Vessel Swing Radius, Scope = 1.5

Anchor line length and vessel swing radius calculated as follows:

Measured depths were adjusted by adding an assumed 1foot depth-finder transducer offset and the tidal height for each buoy site.

Using tide data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration website (http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov), depth relative to the tidal datums was corrected for each buoy using the following datum information:

The extremes were then used to find anchor line length and swing radius by the following formulas:

Anchor line length (L) = SCOPE x EHT where SCOPE is the ratio of anchor line length to water depth. Washington State Parks recommends a scope between 4 and 7 feet of anchor line for every footof water depth. SCOPE = 1.5 was used in these calculations.

Swing Radius = √ (L ) - (ELT ) + mooring line (10ft assumed) + vessel length

These formulas are described in the brochure: "How to Moor Your Boat On State-Owned Aquatic Lands"

These results are based on Tacoma tide data and an assumed 1foot depth-finder transducer offset. Various sources of error including tide prediction error and variation in the position of the depth sounder relative to the mooring buoy anchor are not considered here.
