Tideminders - Parrel beads for mooring warps
Here's a modern take on an old idea - Tideminders are a set of plastic balls to allow your mooring warp to roll up and down a pile in tidal waters. They are like parrel beads as used on gaffers but sized for bigger lines such as your mooring warps, and made of plastic. The solid balls have very smooth holes for the warp, are very tough and are light enough to float.
