Wichard 170mm Stainless Automatic Mooring Hook

The Wichard Automatic Mooring Hook is 170mm of 316L stainless with a 12mm diameter opening, closing automatically on contact with a ring or line.

Picking up a mooring from a moving boat is awkward single-handed and worse in chop, and the usual failure is needing a second hand to close the hook at the moment both hands are busy. This one closes the instant it touches a ring or a pennant loop, so the job takes one hand and one pass rather than several attempts.

It fits most boat hooks already on the market, so the automatic action can be added to the pole already aboard rather than replacing it. It is cut for mooring specifically rather than being a general-purpose hook pressed into the role, which shows in the opening size.

Dimensions are 170mm long with a 30mm A dimension, 20mm B dimension and a 12mm opening, sized to take a standard mooring ring or pennant loop. 316L stainless is the grade Wichard uses across its marine hardware, chosen for strength alongside long-term corrosion resistance at a fitting that lives wet.
