DockmateAnchor Buddy - Blue

Used it to moor a Capri 14.2 in small cove. Worked well pulling the boat to shore, getting in and out, raising the sails and exiting the coveFabulous!

Perfect to hold a large boat/pontoon from drifting.

I have used this once or twice a week for over two years and it's indispensable for anchoring in a choppy lake. I have it connected to a box anchor by Slide Anchor, and the Dockmate prevents the anchor from getting pulled up suddenly when a surf wave hits.This rope is a must-have for anchoring by the beach. I throw the box anchor with the Dockmate line off the front, then with a normal anchor rope off the back I'll pull the boat close to the shore and tie it off on a tree or a beach spike (also made by Slide Anchor). That keeps my boat's bow pointing into the waves and prevents it from weathervaning.When I'm ready to get moving again, I can cast off the rear line and the Dockmate will pull the boat away from shore. The only problem is if there's nobody on shore to cast your line off from the beach, you have to do it yourself. Now you're now 30-50 feet away from a boat that wants to zoom away from you. I've had to get pretty good at holding the boat back with the rope while mountain climbing my way through the water. Totally worth it though, Dockmate is doing its job!One last tip: I recommend using two lines on your anchor: A normal anchor line and the Dockmate line. The non-stretchy line will make it easier to pull your anchor out when it's really set well, plus it preserves the elasticity of the Dockmate line.

Works well. As described and expected

Absolutely love the anchor buddy. Anyone who has seen it in action, wants one.
