Smart Lander ^TM  Vessel Positive Restraint Technology Provides Reliable Connection to the Dock

PRODUCT VISION:  Commercial Vessels

The Nautical Landing System Commercial Vessel "Positive Restraint" technology connects large boats to the dock, which allows operators to throttle down the engine and reduce emissions.  Many large ports are exploring this technology as a way to reduce emissions during ferry dwell time.  and help the environment.  It truly is the smart thing to do.  The patented V shape does all the work to guide the vessel into the locked position at the dock while still allowing movement due to variable water conditions.

PRODUCT VISION:  Recreational Watercraft

The Nautical Landing System works for any size boat, sail or power.  Use the L200 to hitch your dingy to your yacht while you load your crew and supplies.  Rental Fleets may want to use the L220 on the bows of their daysailors so their customers just have to "bump" the target pole on the edge of the dock.  Sportfishermen, mount a pair of L240 units at the stern to hitch to your dock slip as you back up.    Use the larger L260 or L280 Landers for Motoryachts and Sailboats that are 30' and larger.

This model is similar to the L260 but has a built-in shock-absorber.  Also is retractable via 90 degrees to get out of the way of other boat equipment.  Mount on side to catch your dock or mooring. Control Cable Included.  Stainless Steel construction.

Operation of the Nautical Landing System is simple.  One person can now single-handedly land their yacht on its mooring or dock safely and easily.  Upon approaching the dock, simply settle in on a safe speed and trajectory.  Aim the vessel so that the “V” shaped catch housing engages your target pole.  The latch will be automatic and secure.  (Larger vessels will have the S160 unit or larger, and would simply have to push a button on approach that would first deploy the Catch Arm on its 90 degree pivot.)

To launch your boat, simply push a button to release the latch and you are free!  No more ropes or cleats to fuss with.  More importantly, no more dangerous maneuvers at the bow of the boat to worry about!
