Default MooR FasT, does it really work?

Hi there,
I've come across this post:http://gadgetsailinginspector.blogsp...moor-fast.html

"If you've ever cursed at your crewmen, your wife or even yourself for
not being able to hook a line at a mooring buoy, marina cleat, pile
mooring, etc, then you need this very ingenious gadget.
MooR FasTŪ threads a rope through a buoy ring or marina cleat up to 2
metres away from the safety of your deck and brings it back on board.
It will even scoop up rings and shackles that lie flat."

Q1:
Has anyone used this device?

Q2:
Does it really work?

Thanks.


Looks like cheap tupperware to me, locker junk at best.

Buddy had one and it shattered first time he used it. Got a free
replacement and the lock tip fell off in the water when he was
docking...you should see the scratch in his gel-coat...he uses the
pole as a frog gig now and threw away the useless tip.

I'd buy a boat hook and learn how to use it.

Good luck.

Joe
