Boathooks

| Now I reckon most of these are bought by guilty crew members who have just dropped the last one over the side. If you are going to make a habit of it, I'd recommend you stop right here and go to a proper chandlery and get a floating aluminium pole thingy. You think the skipper would notice the difference? Oh well, better carry on here then. |

1. Double Boathooks |
 It takes all sorts, but I've always found double boathooks a bit less aggressive than their single & spike cousins. You can avert disasters less damagingly - if there is such a word.
The 6" ones fit 1 1/4" staves, and the 8" ones fit 1 1/2" staves. |

2. Grabit Boathook |
 The original, and still the best boathook for attaching a line to a mooring buoy or ring. Cast in aluminium bronze, one sweep with the grabit leaves the boat secure whilst a permanent mooring is attached. Well, maybe two sweeps if you are having a bad day. |

3. Single Boathooks |
 On the other hand if you are in pirate country or need to pole out a foresail…..
The 6" ones fit 1 1/4" staves, and the 8" ones fit 1 1/2" staves. |

4. Staves |
| I know these are expensive, but in contrast to dowelling the ash is tough, flexible and with enough varnish/paint, long-lasting. You don't want to see the splinters from a ramin boathook breaking at the critical moment - very long and very sharp.
For our international customers, transporting these is likely to be expensive, so please check first, or see what you can get locally. |
