Abstract:
A floating dock includes a frame, a float, and first and second dock posts. The frame has a first longitudinal section and a second longitudinal that define a slip there between. The dock posts are operatively secured to and project upward from the frame and are on opposite sides of the slip. The posts have self-adjusting line systems including a slide, an elongate member, an upper stop, a lower stop, and a line. The slide is slidable along the elongate member between the upper stop and the lower stop. The line is coupled to the slide. The line is adapted to tether the slide to a watercraft. The slides are capable of moving independently to allow vertical translation, pitch, and roll of the watercraft while the watercraft is secured within the slip.

Claim (Index 2):
A floating dock in accordance with  claim 1  further comprising a third self-adjusting line system and a fourth self-adjusting line system, the first and second self-adjusting line systems positioned relative to the slip to secure a bow of a watercraft, the third and fourth self-adjusting line systems positioned on opposite sides of the slip and positioned relative to the slip to secure a stern of a watercraft, the third self-adjusting line system comprising a third slide, a third elongate member, a third upper stop, a third lower stop, a third line, and a third damper, the third slide being slidable along the third elongate member between the third upper stop and the third lower stop, the third line being adapted to tether the third slide to a watercraft, the third line passing through the third damper, the third damper being configured to damp a varying tension force in the third line caused by movement of a watercraft resulting from wave action, and the fourth self-adjusting line system comprising a fourth slide, a fourth elongate member, a fourth upper stop, a fourth lower stop, a fourth line, and a fourth damper, the fourth slide being slidable along the fourth elongate member between the fourth upper stop and the fourth lower stop, the fourth line being adapted to tether the fourth slide to a watercraft, the fourth line passing through the fourth damper, the fourth damper being configured to damp a varying tension force in the fourth line caused by movement of a watercraft resulting from wave action, the third slide and the fourth slide capable of moving independently.
