ABSTRACT:
Collars are secured to a boat hook at spaced points along the length of the forward portion of that boat hook; and each of those collars has a rope-holding member which has a shank and a bent end. That boat hook will be rotated about its axis to dispose those rope-holding members in position to support two spaced parts of a loop which is adjacent one end of a rope; and then those two spaced parts of that loop will be draped over those rope-holding members. An elongated part of that loop will depend downwardly below the level of the forward portion of the boat hook; and movement of that forward portion in a given direction will move that downwardly-depending elongated part of that loop into engagement with one side of a piling or other mooring device, continued movement of that forward portion of that boat hook in that given direction will move the two spaced parts of that loop over and beyond the other side of that piling or other mooring device, and rotation of that boat hook about its axis will move the bent ends of the rope-holding elements downwardly until they release the two spaced part of that loop and thereby permit those two spaced part of that loop to respond to gravity to fall down on the other side of that piling or other mooring device.
