A guy in the next slip to me had one and said it worked fine. He
bought it because many buoys in Europe apparently do not have a
mooring line, just a ring on the top.

From the looks of the thing he had it for a year or more, stored in
clips on one shroud.

I don't know exactly what it is, but won't a boathook pretty much do
the job?

It's called a Happy Hooker. Yes, you can use a boat hook, but if you have a
lot of freeboard, it may be hard to get the line from your boat through the
ring on the buoy when the buoy is without a mooring line.
