Well there is bobbing about, and then there is banging about. It's difficult to define what is acceptable with regards to amount of water movement, but then you also have poorly moored boats which will slowly slide forward, catch on a rope and lean over, then bounce back again again suddenly stopping when the rope tightens. If I see that a boat has loose ropes I will slow down a bit more. By the way if anyone uses the centre rope for long term mooring then don't be surprised when the boat leans over, and don't complain either!
