ABSTRACT:
A Boat Mooring Apparatus, comprising two main units -- a Boat Mooring Line Apparatus and a Boat Mooring Cleat Apparatus -- used to releasably secure a boat to a mooring post. The Boat Mooring Line Apparatus comprises a mooring line of a given diameter with several bulges spaced along one end, the bulges having a diameter greater than that of the mooring line, with the opposite end comprising a slip-loop. The cleat includes two substantially parallel spaced apart arched members which between them define an arched slot, that is as wide as the diameter of the mooring line, but narrower than the diameter of any bulge on the line. Both ends of the parallel spaced arched members are transversely registered. A mounting plate is affixed to each pair of ends and is provided for interconnecting the ends, and for securing the ends to the boat. The members are arched so that they rise from the boat, thereafter extend along and spaced from the boat, and then extend back to the boat. Because the slot is narrower than any one of the bulges, the spaced apart members define a stop for at least one of the bulges to prevent removal of the mooring line end from the cleat by a tension force along the line. However, the mooring line can be deliberately removed from the cleat by applying a force normal to the line.
