ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for fastening a line, such as a line supporting a fender on a marine vessel. The apparatus has a body portion defining an aperture for receiving the line, and a lever coupled to the body portion and defining a passageway between the lever and the body portion for receiving the line passed through the aperture. A biasing mechanism normally biases the lever into engagement with the line extending through the passageway to fasten the line to the apparatus.
