I walked out to the end of the dock a few days ago and saw the pile ring above. I had never seen one before. This is an excellent idea which enables use of four dock lines instead of three and prevents a boat from rubbing against the dock. When I got back to the condo I googled and found they are manufactured by a company based in Auckland, New Zealand, and for sale in the U.S. The inside diameter of this model is 15”. I measured the piling today. It is 12” and I placed an order.

I do not pray, but if I did, this would be a good one. The poet is William Butler Yeats.

Much fancier and I expect longer lasting solution than the old tire with flotation in it that I've seen used. For a similar reason I've seen a block on the pule and a weight used to good effect.
Those rings are ubiquitous in NZ Marinas. I had no idea they were not a normal part of marina poles throughout the world. Good 'ole Kiwi ingenuity still alive and well.
