Mooring device

A vertically adjustable, variable buoyancy basic mooring device for boats which device secures the bow of the boat to a resilient stretch member allowing full articulation while at the same time preventing pivotal movement of the stern of the boat in response to wind and wave forces acting on the boat comprising:

• a fixed or floating base landing structure including a base unit, said base unit being rigidly affixed to said fixed or floating base landing structure,
• attached to the base unit is a vertically adjustable base which includes stationary landing arms which are rigidly affixed to said vertically adjustable base, and positioned at the end of said stationary landing arms are four rigidly affixed stationary landing arm uprights, between which is positioned a resilient stretch member.
• a flotation unit or units attached to the stationary landing arms which when positioned in the water as a result of adjusting the vertically adjustable base, offers buoyancy equal to or in excess of the weight of the total mooring device,
• wherein the bow of the boat is positioned against the resilient stretch member causing deflection of said stretch member at which time lines from opposite sides of the stern of the boat are attached to two docks cleats which are mounted on the fixed or floating landing structure at such an angle as to severely restrict pivotal movement of the boat followed by tensioning of the bow lines which are attached at one end of the resilient stretch member and are thus attached at the other end to the bow of the boat.
