ABSTRACT:
A tool for assisting a person to attach the fabric top of a boat to the front, back, and sides of the boat cockpit while standing safely inside the boat cockpit. The tool consists of a long flat blade joined to a handle. The flat blade contains a notch that fits behind the bell-shaped fastener elements that are located on the inside of the fabric top and which secure the fabric top into place. The flat portion of the blade is long enough to reach the complementary fastener elements on the outside edges of the cockpit when pulling the fabric top tautly into place. The handle is positioned at an angle to the notched blade so a person can grasp the tool firmly by the handle and use it to pull and stretch the fabric tautly into place and to align the fastener elements without having the tool or the person's hand interfere with the positioning of the fabric top. While the notched blade is engaged behind the bell-shaped fastener element, the person then pulls the fastener element on to the complementary fastener element which is firmly mounted on the outside edge of the boat cockpit, thus securing the fastener and the fabric top into place. While remaining safely inside the cockpit, the person then proceeds to the next fastener and so on until the entire fabric top is secured.
