Abstract
The object of the invention is a mooring compensator not needing any rope threading; instead, even after the boat is moored, it can effortlessly be fastened onto any rope (6) with a simple loop (7, 8). The special characteristic of the mooring compensator is that, when pulled, the openings (9, 9A) at the end elements (2, 2A) of the mooring compensator close, thereby efficiently preventing the loop (7, 8) in the boat rope (6) from sliding out of the opening (9, 9A) and from opening.
