Wish I had one of these a few years ago when my wife tried to catch a ball with a boat hook. That one ended with much amusement to the surrounding boats and a near divorce on my part. Live and Learn

I bought one at the Newport boat show last fall. It takes practice but works. It helps my admiral with the spring line if the wind is blowing us off the dock.

Looks very cool!
And where would one find those nice mooring balls with the hook sticking up out of the water like the video shows? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

This reminds me of an amusing incident on my boat a few years ago. We were leaving a Bitter End dock from a very tight spot near shore. I was focused on not hitting anything with the boat as I navigated out of the dock. My wife cast off the final line but hesitated before jumping on board. The gap quickly became too wide to jump and she was left on the dock. By the time I realized what had happen I was too far into the departure maneuver to backup. She got a ride out with some amused dock workers in their dinghy. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
