My reference is the National Census and the IRS. Living on a boat will classify you as homeless. This leads one to believe that a mooring are 'not' real property.
A mooring is where a boat is docked. A single bay mooring means that there is room for just one boat.

If you are in a large boat with a motor and you are not sailing to the mooring, put the motor in neutral perhaps a quarter of the boat length before the mooring, so you can glide to the mooring, although this distance may vary. Immediately after someone grabs the mooring, put the engine into reverse. This will cause the tension on the mooring to increase. Once the person has put the mooring on the cleat, cut the engine.If you are in a small boat with no motor, sail to the mooring and grab it. As long as you are pointing into the wind, you should go into irons (facing into the wind when the sail flaps about- you may call it something different), and this should stop any forward movement of your boat and might even push your boat back a bit. Another thing to do once the mooring is in hand is to sail backwards. You can achieve this by pushing the sail out as far as it can go, if possible, a right angle to the mast and bow. Note: When sailing backwards, steering is opposite, so point your rudder towards where you want to go.Also, if your boat has a centerboard, pull it up if you think your boat will run over the mooring chain, so it won't get caught.
In maritime usage "mooring" means to secure a vessel [boat, ship , barge, etc.].j3h.
A place assigned as a mooring for a vessel or boat.
A mooring buoy. You can tie a boat to one- the ONLY buoy that you can tie a boat to.
always approach a mooring buoy bow first slowly from the downwind side so when you tie off the boat can drift back with out fouling the mooring chain or line
Yes, it is generally legal to attach a boat to a mooring buoy, but this can depend on local regulations and the specific mooring buoy's ownership. Mooring buoys are often placed by marinas or local authorities and may require a permit or fee for use. It's important to check local laws and guidelines to ensure compliance and avoid penalties.
