ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for docking a smaller vessel, such as a dinghy, to a substantially horizonal platform or swimstep of a larger vessel, such as a boat. The docking apparatus comprises a pair of mounting brackets attached at spaced locations to the edge of the swimstep. A substantially vertical bumper attached to each mounting bracket extends vertically above and below the swimstep. An adjustment bracket connected between each bumper and mounting bracket permits vertical, horizontal and rotational adjustment of the bumper with respect to the swimstep. For soft dinghies, a line connected to the dinghy and the bumper docks the two together. For hard dinghies, the bumper includes a cushion interposed between the bumper and the hard dinghy.
