There are insides of bends and outsides of bends. if you are moored on the inside, it's pretty difficult for anyone to hit you, as their bow is tracking towards the outside.
I'm just boiling the egg for my granny's next lesson now...

Thanks for that Nigel. I suppose in effect it comes under obstructing navigation so in some situations mooring on a bend, if it caused vessels to collide with you, would be an obstruction. Are you typing on your mobile whilst driving at 100mph down to Mustard-ville?

But.
If you moor on the inside of a bend then you -may- be limiting other peoples maneuvering options and reducing their visibility in such a way as to promote collisions. Often the inside of a bend will be shallow in which case its probably not suitable for mooring anyway.

I'm now sitting in a Phoenix house with a subtle bottle of Duvel (my childrens french (actually moroccan) grand parents are strict Muslims so no beer is allowed here) they are also about 80 so don't really know wtf is happening anyway. no driving today. bismillah.

There's nothing wrong with mooring on a bend if you have a bendy boat. Photos available.
