Abstract:
1. A system for docking a watercraft to a trailer, comprising: a bow attachment, said bow attachment including a head installable to a watercraft in a protruding position from the bow of the watercraft, said head including at least one latchable surface, said bow attachment providing a radial motion for turning said head into a capture and a release position; a receiver adapted to be mounted to a trailer; a separation included in said receiver through which said head may insertably pass through to be captured when said head is in capture position; guides included in said receiver configured to guide said head into said separation on forward motion of the watercraft; a mechanism for turning said head into both the capture and release positions; wherein said head in the capture position, after entering said separation of said receiver, is prevented from exiting said receiver provided that the watercraft remains in a substantially normal position relative to the trailer, and wherein said head in the release position, after entering said separation of said receiver, may escape the confines of said receiver upon aft motion of the watercraft.
