Re: I want this boat hook
I have two of them.
We use them every time we
dock
. It is the easiest way we've found to get a line around a cleat.
Especially useful in a situation where you are being blown away from the
dock
.

Re: I want this boat hook
Looks a nice bit of kit.
Good to see that it will float, better had for the
price

Re: I want this boat hook
Years ago I had something like this, but it was made by Davis. It worked OK. It finally broke and they stopped making them. It was especially good at picking up moorings.
