The smart and simple solution would be a bunch of first come, first served moorings, and launch service. Would not cost much to implement and the fees for the launch service would make it self-sustaining. The size of the mooring balls would indicate the size of the moorings, so they could put a bunch of moorings for 25 feet LOA or less, close together, then a bunch for 35 feet LOA or less, and little further out and further apart etc. I would use the mooring "balls" that have a well for the pennant on tops so it does not heang in the water and get grungy. If the moorings fill, there's nothing stopping anyone from anchoring and using the mooring service.

We use town moorings all the time while cruising the coast. We never bother with the launch service though because we carry a RIB tender on the stern. Don't see many tenders on Winni...
