So far the only way I know is to pick up the mooring bail, bent down and
thread a rope through the bail. From the bow of a sailboat it can become
difficult when the weather is bad. I only wish I could learn a better way
to thread the pennant trough the bail hook.



Denis,

here's link for the happy hooker... works great...

Yea, that's like the gadget I got from West for about $20. I'm sure
this one works 22 times better.
