Greenfield Products Dock Buddy DB4-RB Stretch Dock Line, 4 Foot, Royal Blue

The Greenfield Products Dock Buddy (DB4-RB) is a 4-foot stretch dock line designed to absorb the constant motion of a boat against the dock, reducing strain on cleats and hull fittings compared to a fixed, non-stretch line. One end hooks to the boat cleat and the other end hooks to the dock cleat; sliding the adjustment tubes up tight takes up slack and lets the line stretch and recover as the boat moves with wakes, wind, and tidal changes. This makes the Dock Buddy well suited as a companion to standard dock lines for boats kept at a slip or dock on a regular basis.

The Dock Buddy is constructed from a nylon and polyester blend for flexibility and abrasion resistance, with stainless steel hardware at the hook connections for corrosion resistance in a marine environment. It carries a 2000 pound load capacity and measures 48 inches long by 6.09 inches wide. This listing is for the Royal Blue color option.
