  • Patent number: 7100527
    Abstract: A boat mooring device comprises two PVC pipes pivotally joined at a common midpoint to be selectively positionable from a coextensive linear configuration to an X-shaped configuration. Each pipe has a segment of nylon line extending therethrough and secured therein. The device includes a first pair of line anchoring structures adapted for spaced-apart attachment to a docking structure, and a second pair of line anchoring structures adapted for spaced-apart attachment to a watercraft. In use, the pipes are arranged in an X-shaped configuration and the ends of the nylon lines are attached to the anchoring structures on the dock and watercraft. Each pair of line anchoring structures are spaced apart at a distance approximately equal to half the length of the pipes. In this arrangement, the pipes form an angle of approximately 60° with respect to one another, which provides the optimal configuration for maintaining the moored boat in position.
