I saw that a fer days ago. Looks interesting, but not at the price they want. Bet I could make something similar with some PVC pipe, garden hose and rope. I wonder if the large loop is plastic or rubber coated wire.

They can be found for less money at your local adult book store.

Here's why Stu asked the question of Randy : <b>[url="http://catalina-capri-25s.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=15645&SearchTerms=dock-o-matic"]Docking Made Easy[/url]</b>

Here's Randy's version

He shoulda patented it.

And he still can. Randy, what do you figure the cost would be? about $25 for snubber and another $15 for rope and tube. About $10 shipping. So maybe $50? Buyer supplies own boat pole, which we all have one anyway.
Randy, how about discount to members?

I coulda been rich! The advantage of the Nauti Duck Dock-A-Matic is that one end is secured to the boat (over a winch or cleat). That cheap knockoff () is hand-held. Good lunch stopping a 4500lb boat with that.

I work in the IT business and look at the Dock-A-Matic as my contribution to the "open source" set of products in the sailing world. It is free to anyone to use or improve upon.

We used the Dock-A-Matic just last night and it still works great.

And we're hoping to use the Dock-a-matic MKII in just a few hours, heading for the Alki launch in a couple of minutes. First time SL will have been in the water in 19 months. (well, sort of)
