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.

How do you un-kink a bike chain?
Some oil or WD-40 should loosen the kink in the chain, and then working it over with your hands should straighten it out more completely. It may not unkink fully until you have used it while actually riding your bike.
