ABSTRACT:
A watercraft mooring device is described which permits the watercraft to rise and drop vertically with the water level and which provides both direct shock absorption between the watercraft and the fixed mooring point, such as the pier or piling, and protection against scraping between the watercraft and the fixed mooring point. A floating tube is provided, which is designed to loosely fit over and around the fixed mooring point and which provides one or more attachment grooves for holding an attachment rope, cord or cable in place. The provided floating tube includes one or more securing hooks for securing the attachment rope, cord or cable when it is not needed to moor the watercraft. This invention solves the significant problem of damage to boats and other watercraft caused by impact and scraping against the pier and piling. Moreover, by providing a floating mooring device, the watercraft is permitted to maintain the same relative distance between the watercraft and the fixed mooring point, and therefore providing a device for protecting a watercraft from undesirable contact with other mooring structures.
