EVERY BOATERS PROBLEM

Since you are reading this, chances are, you have operated some type of personal watercraft in the past, or know someone who has. Therefore, you know the frustrations that go along with having fun on the water. One of those main frustrations is how to intelligently dock your watercraft – regardless of whether it is your dock or someone else’s.

You know the routine:

Put out the OLD FASHIONED buoys Tie the boat to the dock with ropes Walk away, and watch your boat AND dock get banged up, scratched up for good. Before long, your boat ends up looking like this!

A related problem that you may have had is trying to tie two watercraft together (regardless of what type). Inevitably, they end up banging against each other and decreasing the life of the boat, not to mention the resale value.

Even for people that seem to have a good mooring system on their own dock (whether it be a boat lift, or some other type of device), the problem is that you cannot take it with you. Imagine trying to take your boat lift or a permanent fixture to your dock with you every time you go out on the water!!

Therefore, what every watercraft owner needs, and has been looking for is a docking (mooring) device with the following features:

1. Simple to use – even for a child
2. Small and portable so you can take it with you – even on a Personal Watercraft
3. Versatile to tie to any dock or other watercraft
4. Inexpensive and a quality product
5. Compatible with any current docking system you are currently using
6. Sturdy and durable to handle high winds and rough waters

Unfortunately, boaters had nowhere to turn for a solution. 

UNTIL NOW!

An avid inventor and boating enthusiast, Duff Hay, embarked on a journey to design, patent, and market a new mooring device that fits the description above. The result is an amazing patented product called the Stowaway Holdaway™.  

This is the OFFICIAL web site of the Stowaway Holdaway™, giving you all the information available with the added benefit of FACTORY DIRECT PRICING!   

The Stowaway Holdaway™ is a sleek and portable mooring device with a rubber tip to hold your boat or Personal Water Craft (PWC) away from the dock to avoid marring or scuffing the finish. It can conveniently be used on nearly any dock and even to hold two boats together without banging.

This device is easy to use at any dock since it is FULLY ADJUSTABLE and has BUILT-IN BRAIDED NYLON ROPES. You can take with you for quick, safe tie ups anytime, anywhere. NO MORE bulky bumpers or flopping fenders to clutter your boat or dock!!

The concept is actually quite simple.  The goal is to keep your watercraft away from the dock (or whatever it is tied to), while at the same time, protecting the boat.  As seen in the picture below, this is exactly what the Stowaway Holdaway does.

The device is designed so that one end (the left end in the picture above) is tied somewhere on your boat (usually to the front or back cleat of the boat).  The other end (in this case the right end) is tied to your dock (or whatever you are tying off to).  The middle is then tied to another place on the dock.  This way, when a Stowaway Holdaway (tm) is attached to both the front and back of your boat, your boat is held safely away from your dock and cannot float front or back (as seen in the picture below).

The magic of the device is the patented locking system that allows the Stowaway Holdaway to adjust to whatever size you need.  By simply unscrewing the locking device (only a few screws) you can adjust the Stowaway to the desired length.  Then, when you have adjusted it to fit your boat and whatever dock you are temporarily or permanently at, you can tighten the clamp back up.

After it is locked in place, it IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE!  This is why the patent is so valuable!  In addition, each end is protected by a rubber cap to protect both your boat and your dock!

No bumbers are needed and you do not need to worry, even in high winds!  When you are ready to go, you simply untie the device and drive away.  However, the best part is that you can also take it with you!  

Have you already purchased a mooring device?  If so, then you know how valuable they are to your boat.  It is a shame when someone decides to make a large purchase such as a boat and does not even take care of it by pretending that simple bumpers will protect it.  That would be like buying a nice new car and then parking it two inches from every car so that you are assured every other car door puts a ding in it.

Therefore, a good mooring device is essential if you plan on protecting your boat.  However, the other mooring devices on the market have some problems:

• They are too expensive.  Most cost over $200 at a minimum.
• They are difficult to use (It took me four days to figure one of them out)
• They require you to make adjustments to your dock so they will work
• And worst of all, you cannot take them with you

The last point is one of the main advantages of the Stowaway Holdaway over other docking devices.  What do you do when you need to tie off to another dock (or even another boat for that matter)?  YOU TAKE IT WITH YOU.

As you can see, the device compacts to an extremely small size for easy transport in your boat.  You will always be prepared to dock your boat, no matter where you are.  

One of our customers recently wrote to us and thanked us enthusiastically for saving his boat.  He was at a friends house with his boat, and a violent storm kicked up (have you ever had this happen to you?).  Luckily, he was using his Stowaway at his friends dock and his boat did not even get a scratch (like it would have if he was only using regular bumpers).  Even though he has a boat lift at his own dock, he saw the value of having a Stowaway Holdaway (tm) on hand (lucky for his boat).

Versatile to tie to any dock or watercraft

Whether you have a 60 foot yacht, or a 8 foot row boat, you can use the Stowaway Holdaway.  There are four models , the SN, MN, LN, and XN to accommodate boats with side or center cleats (or no cleats for that matter) and up to 60 feet long!  You can even use it if you have a dock slip that uses a front tie-off.

The only difference between three of the models, the SN, MN, and LN is the length that they can adjust to.  In the picture below, the SN is on the top, the MN in the middle, and the LN on the bottom.

The XN is the only one that is made different.  It was developed mainly for large boats over 23 feet long.  It has a double-locking system for extra strong hold, is made of stronger PVC pipe, and uses extra thick nylon rope.  

A combination of two of these models will fit nearly any boat available -- including personal watercraft.

Inexpensive and a quality product

The craftsmanship and quality is remarkable. The Stowaway Holdaway™ is made from absolutely corrosion resistant materials. It is light weight, yet strong enough to hold through wind waves, and tides.

We are so confident in this product that we offer a FIVE YEAR FULL REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE!  If any Stowaway Holdaway becomes unusable due to bending or breaking for up to five years, we will replace it ABSOLUTELY FREE!

Best of all, you can begin protecting your boat for much less than any comparable product on the market -- in fact, there are none that we know of, since all four models of the Stowaway Holdaway is PATENT PROTECTED!.

When combining two Stowaway Holdaway's from the table above ( one for the front of the boat and one for the back of the boat), nearly any watercraft can be properly protected.  Just see if you have side cleats or center cleats (the things you tie a rope to on your watercraft), figure out the length of your boat, and use the table above to decide which models would work best for your situation.

Also, for more precision in special circumstances, you could measure the distance you need from the front and back cleats to the dock and reference the table above for the correct combinations of Stowaway's for your boat.  For Example:

1. Two Model SN -- Use this combination for when a boat is up to 23 feet long and has side cleats on both the front and rear.  Most fishing boats and pontoons fit this configuration.
2. Two Model MN -- Use this combination for personal watercraft and for boats with side cleats (up to 23 feet long) that need more space between the boat and the dock.  This combination could also be used for small boats with center cleats -- assuming 32 inches is long enough from the dock to the cleat.
3. Two Model LN -- Use this combination for boats (up to 23 feet) with center cleats in both the front and the rear of the boat.
4. Two Model XN -- Use this combination for larger boats (up to 60 feet) with side cleats in the front and the rear.  This model is extremely strong!
5. One Model SN and One Model LN -- Use this combination for boats with a center cleat in the front and a side cleat in the back (or visa versa).  This combination fits most open bow recreational ski boats and some fishing boats.

As you can see the combinations are limitless -- one of the great aspects of the Stowaway Holdaway!

If you like your current docking system, KEEP IT!  However, this does not mean that the Stowaway Holdaway is not a required item in your boating inventory.  What are you going to do to protect your boat when :

• You are not at your own dock?  
• You see a friend in another boat and want to tie your boats together?
• You want to dock outside of that cool resteraunt and make sure your boat does not get banged up?

As you can see, every person who owns a watercraft needs a Stowaway Holdaway.  In addition, as seen above, the Stowaway Holdaway™ can be used on nearly any watercraft. Models are designed for boats as small as a PWC and as large as a 60 FEET, with side or middle cleats in front or back. It is perfect for two OR three point tie-offs!

Sturdy and durable to handle high winds and rough waters

The Stowaway Holdaway was specifically designed to handle high winds and rough water.  While no mooring device can protect from ALL weather conditions, the Stowaway Holdaway's strength will keep your mind at ease in even the strongest waters.  

This is why we offer a FIVE YEAR FULL REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE!  If any Stowaway Holdaway becomes unusable due to bending or breaking for up to five years, we will replace it ABSOLUTELY FREE!

The Stowaway Holdaway™ is what nearly every boater has been looking for. This is why the NORTH AMERICAN FISHING CLUB awarded the Stowaway Holdaway™ its distinguished SEAL OF APPROVAL!  This seal is only awarded after rigorous field testing to ensure it is a durable, high quality product like the Stowaway Holdaway(tm).

ORDERING DIRECT

There are three steps to the ordering process.

1. Decide which model (or package) is best for you
2. Decide HOW to pay and process the order 
   • Directly On-Line through our SECURE server (the fastest, safest, and easiest method)
   • Email, fax, or phone in the order .
3. Place your order!

The first step is to decide HOW MANY Stowaway Holdaway's (tm) you will need.  Most boats need two -- one for the front of the boat, and one for the rear of the boat.

The next step is to decide WHICH MODELS you need.  There are two ways to do this.  This simple way is to see if your boat has center or side cleats, know the length of the boat, and reference the table below.  

If you want to be more exact, you can measure the distance from the place on the dock (or pole) that you are tying off on to the place on your boat that you are tying off on (usually the front or back cleat).  Then, to decide which model(s) you need, reference the table below.  Notice the distances you are concerned with are highlighted in Red.  

A combination of the four models below will fit nearly any watercraft on the market today.

** Where Pylon Between Slips Is Removed, only ONE XN model is needed.

Therefore, if you have a boat with side cleats in the front and rear that is under 23 feet long you would buy two SN MODELS -- One for the front and one for the rear.

On the other hand, if you have a boat that is under 23 feet long, has a side cleat in the rear and has a center cleat in the front, then you would buy ONE SN MODEL for the rear, and ONE LN MODEL for the front.

The next step in the ordering process is to decide HOW you would like to order your new Stowaway Holdaway's (tm).  Regardless of how you order, your personal information will NEVER be sold to another company.  In addition, each option is COMPLETELY SECURE using the latest encryption technology.

You have two options to order:

• SECURELY OVER INTERNET -- This is by far, the easiest  and fastest option.  We utilize SSL technology to ensure that your personal and credit card information is secure.  You will simply fill out the order form online and your order will automatically be fulfilled.  This works just like a shopping cart.  You will be taken to a secure web site.  There, you add models as you need it, change quantities, and enter your payment information.  It is quick and secure and you can pay with a Visa or Mastercard.

• EMAIL, FAX, PHONE, or SNAIL MAIL -- These are also options, although not ideal.  You still fill out your secure order (like a shopping cart), and then choose to complete the order off-line before completing any financial information.  You are then emailed instructions on how to complete the order process (you have several options here). 

The final step in the ordering process is to fill out your shopping cart.  By clicking on the ORDER FACTORY DIRECT NOW  link below, it is the same thing as picking up a shopping cart in a grocery store.  Then, you simply choose which items you would like to put into your cart.   You will be asked where you are shipping the order to since we need that information to calculate tax and shipping charges.  You can change quantities and add/drop items from your cart along the way.

NOTE: 7% Sales tax is added to all orders shipped to Illinois.
NOTE:  Orders shipped outside the continental United States will incur additional shipping charges.  Please contact sales@stowawayholdaway.com for further details.

At any time, you can modify what is in your cart (add/delete items and change quantities).  When you are all done shopping and have what you want in your cart, you can check out.

This is just like checking out at a grocery store.  At this point, you will be in a SECURE web page using SSL to ensure the security of your personal and credit card information.  You will tell us where you want the information shipped, and how you want to pay for it.  Then, you simply submit the order.  

You will receive your order between 3-5 business days. Within a week, you should be enjoying the luxury of having your own Stowaway Holdaway™.   Any information received from you will NEVER be sold to another company!

THE STOWAWAY HOLDAWAY™ GUARANTEE: You will receive a FULL REPLACEMENT if any Stowaway Holdaway™ becomes unusable due to bending or breaking for up to FIVE YEARS!
