mooring beam Explanation: Certainly not a sailor, but this term would seem to fit the bill. Ref: http://www.a-laiturit.fi/Product Cataloque.pdf (p 34), but also a translation I suspect. I also thought of "mooring boom", but on Googling this term most of the references seemed to lead to floating booms. Still, I think it could be adapted for your purposes if it's clear from the context that a rigid, dockside structure is meant. |

mooring arm Explanation: These are rigid arms that join the boat to the pontoon/jetty when the boat is moored. One is normally attached to the bow and the other to the stern when the boat is parallel to the pontoon, although I have also seen a pair attached either side of the stern to form a triangular shape with the pontoon (the boat was moored at right angles to the main pontoon.)
