ABSTRACT:
A standoff bracket arrangement, for securing boats to a landing structure, is provided having one member secured to the boat and another member secured to the landing structure and a gravity-actuated latch for cooperatively connecting these two members. Initial sliding engagement of the boat member with respect to the landing structure member causes the latch to be upwardly displaced, providing free access to a slotted portion in one member for a latchable portion in the other member. Further insertion of the latchable portion into the slotted portion permits the latch to be downwardly displaced under the influence of gravity to prevent removal of the latchable portion from the slotted portion. The latch also includes a cam surface slidably engagable by the latchable portion when within the slotted portion to cause downward displacement of the latch which also prevents removal of the latchable portion. The latchable portion is positively defined so as to prevent lateral sliding motion when within said slotted portion.
