I didn't read ALL the back and forth on this but I will speak from personal experience
. I USED to have one of these. Yeah they work great on the boat show floor, and great at the Commodore's Roast when I was forced by all my great friends at the Yacht Club to stand in a dinghy in the middle of the dining room and spear a line onto a bucket or something, to show everyone how "easy" it is and that I am just a whiner because I couldn't get it to work in actuality.
they even gave me a gag gift "happy hooker game" with a picture of a bikini clad woman using one to easily pick up a mooring. I left the happy hooker with the "friend" who organized the skit.
That being said, I believe they have redesigned this since my bad experience with it so maybe the new ones work better.
