ABSTRACT:
A device for mooring small boats includes a rigid tubular sleeve with outwardly flared ends. A stretch cord located in the sleeve has attaching members in the form of hooks or the like at each end which extend at least partially outside the associated sleeve end. To moor a boat, one hook is pulled outwardly, stretching the cord, and fastened to a boat rail or cleat. The other hook is similarly fastened to a ring or eye-bolt on the dock. The stretch cord urges the hooks toward the sleeve so that the hooks and flared sleeve ends cooperate to form grips; and the sleeve acts as a spacer to space the boat from the dock.
