ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a hook which may be attached to an end of a rope and used to pull a boat into dock. The hook has an elongated shank having first and second ends and an end opening in the first end of the shank into which a rope may be received. A single tine extends from the second end of the shank and has a free end spaced from the shank. The shank has a substantially wide and flat surface directed towards the tine which together with the tine forms a hook throat. The first end of the shank, from which the rope may extend, is beveled to form an obtuse angle with the flat throat surface of the shank. When the hook is attached to a rope and is thrown over an object, the rope may be retracted to pull the hook toward the object such that contact of the angled first end of the shank against the object, in cooperation with the weight of the tine causes the hook to align itself such that the tine will engage the object.
