Hi, I have a H27 moored on a mud berth. Our mooring is on a small creek that leads into the Ribble. Although small the tidal range is huge, I sit at 90 deg to the flow.
When I first brought her back I had awful problems, moored bow to a pontoon and at right angles to the flow (bow is secured to pontoon, stern to a abouy secured mid channel. My problem was the bow was uphill. As the tide went out she slid down the mud twds the channel, breaking the tiller which had supposedly been lashed amidships.
However after just a few weeks everything seemed to settle down. She seemed to settle herself down into a hollow and lied pretty much level afterwards.
I now have no problems, even after a winter ashore she settles well into her hollow.
So what I think is, keep a close eye on her for the next few months, particularly as the tide goes out. After which she should settle into a nice H23 shaped hollow without fuss.
