  • Publication number: 20080196650
    Abstract: A mooring strap for vessels includes a first loop for engaging a dock mounted cleat and a second loop for engaging a cleat on a vessel. A strap extending from each of the two loops is interconnected with a cam lock to permit drawing the two loops toward one another to draw the vessel toward the dock and to secure the vessel with the dock. A sleeve attendant each loop is slid toward a loop engaged cleat to reduce the functional size of the loop and thereby prevent the loop from becoming inadvertently disengaged from the cleat. Upon release of the cam lock and drawing the sleeves away from the respective engaged cleats, the mooring strap may be disengaged from the cleats.
