Abstract
A mooring line is automatically rewound into a bundle of loops by a rewinding reel that includes a rewinding line that is attached at spaced intervals by clamped eyelets with the last eyelet tied to the end of the rewinding line. The mooring line when attached to the boat is allowed to extend the length of the mooring line and the rewinding pulley attached to a suitable support such as a dock or piling automatically rewinds to form sequential loops forming the bundle of the mooring line.
