ABSTRACT:
A portable cleat for securing the mooring lines of a boat to a plank dock or pier when permanent cleats or other line securing means are not available. It is contemplated that two or more of the portable cleats will be carried by a cruising boat and when needed the cleats can be temporarily mounted on the dock to enable the boat to be moored alongside. Each portable cleat includes a narrow, elongated bar or plate that can be passed down through the space between adjacent planks and then rotated 90.degree. so as to be transversely disposed with respect to the length of the planks. A threaded rod is fixed to the transverse plate and projects up between the planks and a cleat element is releasably connected to this rod, the cleat element engaging the upper side of the dock planking so that a mooring line or lines can be secured thereto.
