SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PUTTING ON HOLD BOATS AFLOAT ON WATER BODY AFTER THEY ARE LAUNCHED AND/OR BEFORE THEY ARE HAULED OUT Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B63C1/04 B63B21/00 B63G8/00 

FIELD: floating docks.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to pleasure boats, specifically to their storage or mooring. System for holding boats when the boats are afloat on a water body after the boats have been launched and/or before the boats are hauled out of the water comprises a floating device, comprising a central floating element and secondary elements, and a first moving system. Each secondary element is associated with a reception place and has at least one point for driving the boat by thrust or traction. First moving system is adapted to move the secondary elements around the central floating element and via the driving points for moving the boat. In order to keep the boat afloat in the water body after launch, the holding system is used to move the first system for moving at least one part of the secondary elements for locating the free receiving section in the entry / exit position opposite the launch and / or hauling position. Further, the boat moves to a free receiving place after its launch in said launch and / or hauling place. If necessary, movement by the first system for moving at least one part of the secondary elements to move the receiving place at said entry / exit position to perform a new hauling operation for another boat or to place another free receiving place at the indicated entry / exit position to perform the launch operation.

EFFECT: higher capacity of holding boats without restricting access to the water body is achieved and minimisation or elimination of human actions during operations to move the boat into and out of the holding zone.
