Abstract:

A simple and compact Apparatus for holding a floating vessel to a fixed location without the use of ropes or flexable fastenings, connecting to existing hardware on vessel with a quick release mechanism, preventing any movement away from the dock as viewed from above, but allowing for three plains of movement associated with water, vertical tidal movement, rocking wave movement, and front to back dipping movement. A preferred embodiment includes that it retains the said vessel closer than any prior art making it impossible to fall between vessel and fixed location thus making it the safest docking system available.
