A novel mooring line device is described and illustrated. The mooring line
device is designed to engage a mooring line, the mooring line having a
free end for attachment to a watercraft and a looped end for attachment
to the mooring line device. The inventive mooring line device comprises
two tubes, secured adjacent to one another, through which the mooring
line is threaded. Once the mooring line is wrapped about a piling, the
looped end of the mooring line may be engaged within a locking component
of the mooring line device, and the mooring line subsequently tightened
about the piling and secured thereto via the inventive mooring line
device.
