sounds good, have you got a link to somewhere that sells it?
Moorfast is the British version. I have one and it is very useful, especially when single-handed.I know many will laugh at this ... I bought it after being in the pub ...
But in fact it works !
Cannot remember its name - but its a plastic affair you screw to the other end of a boathook. Mine has a short line attached to it that you can make fast to a mooring line ... you load the cross bar across the mouth and then when you want to put a line through a cleat or ring .. you press the bar on the cleat / ring and the line is put through and you have it brought back to you.
As long as you remember its plastic and don't get silly with it - it works ! Cost me about 10 quid !!
Here's a similar one ... mine's a heavier gauge french jobbie ...
If you have a dinghy with a decent sized engine that's not wheel steered, then a tiller extension.
If you look on YouTube, search Moorfast, there's a video showing how easy it is to use.
I agree, we call ours a Chung Chung, one of the most useful bits of kit on board, along with a good quality torch and a few tubes of CT1.I know many will laugh at this ... I bought it after being in the pub ...

Me. In a deluded attempt to get the thing to plane. I’m glad that’s all I had access to as a teenager though!
I was going to say the same thing - you may not use it often, but when you need to, it's invaluable.I know many will laugh at this ... I bought it after being in the pub ...
