This video shows a very useful way to pick up a mooring buoy single handed from the mid ships using a Buoycatcher boat hook. As you can tell by the flag there is quite a steady wind so we positioned the boat just upwind of the visitor mooring buoy and positioned it so the buoy was mid way down the hull giving the operator time to get the 16mm mooring line fed through the eyelet of the buoy catcher & positioned to stab the ring on the buoy without the buoy trying to run away from the boat. This method helps give the user more time to get secured when working against wind & tide. It is far easier to pick up midships at times than the bathing platform or bow where you have limited from the helm to & limited time to secure buoy before your boat starts to drift away from it. With the very useful extended reach of our telescopic pole (3.3 metres) 11 feet of extended reach it gives you the flexibility to to pick up your mooring from anywhere on the boat that suits the situation at the time & removes the need to lean dangerously overboard with a conventional boat hook trying to catch the mooring buoy and then having to feed a line through it.
Our Buoycatcher boat hook are designed to operate without the need to tie knots or use a painter & can work effectively with mooring lines of up to 18mm on our standard model & 24mm on our New Max Model.
