    a second C-clamp engaging the second cleat;

    a first clamp pivot pivotably coupling said first C-clamp to said first arcuate arm of said coupling bar;

    a second clamp pivot pivotably coupling said second C-clamp to second arcuate arm of said coupling bar;

    a height differentiation defined between said coupling bar and said first C-clamp and said second C-clamp; and

    said height differentiation producing a first pivot wedging stop for terminating pivoting of said first C-clamp relative to said coupling bar and a second pivot wedging stop for terminating pivoting of said second C-clamp relative to said coupling bar upon the first cleat offset relative to the second cleat for maintaining the boat at a safe distance from the object.
