Arthur Marshall Posted July 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Mine have been a godsend. Simple things can make a big difference as your age heads towards the speed limit (motorway rather than canal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Tee Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 I used to have a ‘nappy pin’ permanently spliced to a 4’ or 5’ (depends how high your boat is out of the water) rope with an eye spliced the other end. Leave the eye permanently on the front t stud and makes single-handed mooring a doddle - just drop in the pin and walk back to the stern. To make life even easier I had another pin fixed to about 16’ of rope for the stern - drop in the pin, loop the rope over the rear dolly and tighten up as needed. No fiddling ropes through the eye etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm following you now ? - I thought Arthur had posted the pic. Just couldn't understand how he could have taken the pic from his boat. As you were... ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Marshall Posted July 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 No, mine are in a pic about two pages back. I do have a pic somewhere of them in use but it really isn't that exciting,and if I put it on, someone would just tell me I was doing it wrong... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
