EASY BERTH
Handy Duck Kit
Do you like easy mooring? Handy Duck is a kit that consists of a mooring hook (available for line diameters up to 22 or 33 millimeters) and a ferrule for attachment to 25-millimeter rods.

SMART BUOY AND…
PME Sea Clik
Clik is a floating body equipped with two rings and four solar panels and an extensible ribbon. Simply attach its stretchable tape to the line or tow via a carabiner and let it sink with it when you set sail. Upon docking, all it takes is the press of its control and Clik resurfaces ready to be hoisted aboard. Price: 510 euros. FIND IT HERE.
… GRIPPIALE SMART
Grippy, the intelligent grippai
Grippy is a lightweight and compact intelligent grippai with self-winding grippai up to 25 meters long in HMPE tracing, with integrated and automatic night lighting.

SOMEONE LIKES FLAT
Plastimo flat fenders
Plastimo’s flat fenders are made from a sandwich of EVA 100 + PE30, closed-cell materials that are buoyant and oil-resistant. They are of great strength and high elasticity.

HALF A SAILOR TO WHOM?
Robship Hook & Moor
In “lock position,” Hook & Moor is a traditional seafaring craft. But once unlocked and armed with a mooring line, it allows you to run a mooring line inside a ring or cleat or buoy without getting off the boat. Prices: from 149 euros. FIND IT HERE.
NO MORE DIRTY WORK!
G-Hook cup holder
