ABSTRACT:
A standoff mooring bar for a boat featuring an adjustable mooring bar body that is automatically locked at the desired mooring length when a mooring rope is tensioned. This body has an inner cylindrical tube telescoping within an outer cylindrical tube, and a pair of end caps closing the telescoping pair of tubes. The mooring rope extends through the pair of tubes by passing through openings located in both end caps. An automatic locking assembly fixes the adjustable length of the telescoping pair of tubes when the tie ends of the mooring rope are secured during mooring. The locking assembly includes a locking tube located within the outer cylindrical tube, and a locking rope anchored to the internal end of the inner cylindrical tube which extends over the locking tube for insertion within the mooring rope. The locking rope is fixed to one of the exposed tie ends of the mooring rope. A guy rope is fixed to the mooring bar in such a manner that the guying forces do not tend to alter the combined length of the two telescoped tubes.
