ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for mooring watercraft to a dock makes use of a mooring clamp with at least one rearward-pointing teeth. The tooth and other inner surfaces of the clamp define a serpentine path for engaging a mooring arm from the watercraft to a docking member attached to the edge of the dock. The docking member is mounted substantially vertically and is sized to engage the serpentine path of the clamp lying substantially in the horizontal plane, the mooring apparatus permits the craft to rise and fall vertically without subjecting the mooring clamp to undue stress. At the same time, the features of the serpentine path inhibit accidental unmooring of the craft from natural forces until manually released.
