ABSTRACT:
A mooring device for connecting a floating object to a moorage structure includes an elongate resiliently yieldable member which has a longitudinally-extending, normally arcuate shape when in an unstressed state. The yieldable member is operatively connected between the floating object at a first end and the moorage structure at a second end. The yieldable member is yieldably bendable from the normally arcuate shape to a more arcuate shape in response to movement of the floating object toward the moorage structure so as to yieldably resist the movement. One exemplary embodiment would include a base which connects the second end to the moorage structure. Another exemplary embodiment would include a removable resilient fender which is adapted to connect the first end to the floating object.
