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 FasT® 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?

I have used something similar to this. It was not very effective. It
just pushed the ring on the mooring ball out of the way. Just hook
the ring with a boat hook - much simpler.
