DIY mooring buoy retriever.

It can be difficult to retrieve a mooring buoy or even attach a mooring rope to a cleat when docking. Here is a simple device that will help the sailor, especially when short handed. It is made from scrap plywood and the shaft of a broken broom.

I just started cutting a piece of scrap plywood until I had a shape that worked. That shape was then transferred to a better piece of wood.

Could you do a sketch of this with dimensions? Thank you. I would like to try and make one from aluminum. Thank you
