ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for securing a vessel to a stationary mooring, which apparatus permits shifting movement of the vessel in a fore and aft direction relative to the mooring while restricting movement away from the mooring. The combination comprises docking lines extending fore and aft from the vessel to the mooring to cause shifting movement of the vessel in a fore and aft direction, an elongated rail affixed to the vessel and extending substantially parallel to its longitudinal axis, a breasting dolly embracing the rail and shiftable freely fore and aft on the rail, and a breasting line secured to the dolly and extending laterally of the fore and aft direction and fixed to the mooring in a manner to restrict the dolly and rail against movement away from the mooring.
