boat yards use them to manuever boats to the slings. check with them.
you could also make something using rigid plastic pipe.

I'm looking for info on boathooks.. I've no experience of sailing /
boating
at all - hence that's why I'm in here asking.

I'm looking for a really long - ideally telescopic boat hook.
The purpose for which I want it is related to work - At the site where I
work we have a really deep pit for the surface water outfall. In an
attempt
to stop people needing to go into the pit I'd like to be able to reach
into
the pit - using something like a telescopic boat hook - to retrieve any
debris (EG: plastic bags etc.) that blow into it.
The pit is about 10 metres deep

Can anyone point me in the direction of a UK based supplier of anything
that
might meet my needs...?

Thanks in anticipation..
Simon.
