Abstract: This invention pertains to a swing-away hitch for trailers, in particular the boat trailer market. Boat trailers are longer than the boats itself for towing purposes. When having to store the boat and trailer in a small space, the tongue with the hitch of the trailer becomes an obstacle. This invention allows a trailer to be parked in spaces that could only hold the size of the boat by swinging the hitch to the side. The design of this invention consists of sandwiching a tube (tongue of the trailer) between two plates with holes that align with tubular sleeves welded on opposite sides at the end of a hitch cover to convert it to a swing-away hitch. Pins are inserted to mount the swing-away hitch onto the swing-away hitch assembly. In a towing position, both pins stay in their sleeves. In stowaway position, one pin is removed and the swing-away hitch swivels via the remaining pin away to the side of the trailer.

Abstract: A floating vessel has an upper portion with heavy equipment (such as drilling equipment, for example) mounted thereon. Also provided are:(a) structure for anchoring the vessel at a selected site on a body of water, pg,2(b) such structure including anchor lines effectively attached to the vessel and also extending away from the vessel to transfer loading to the vessel at upper and lower locations associated with the vessel and spaced from the vessel center characterized in that tilting of the vessel is resisted by such lines.
