ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A portable cleat for securing the mooring lines of a boat to a plank dock or pier when permanent cleats or other line securing means are not available. It is contemplated that two or more of the portable cleats will be carried by a cruising boat and when needed the cleats can be temporarily mounted on the dock to enable the boat to be moored alongside. The portable cleat includes a narrow, elongated bar or plate that can be passed down through the space between adjacent planks and then rotated so as to be transversely disposed with respect to the length of the planks. A square section threaded rod is fixed to the tranverse plate and projects up between the planks and a cleat element is releasably received on this rod. The cleat element has a central bore conforming to the rod to prevent rotation therebetween and engages the upper side of the dock planking so that a mooring line or lines can be secured thereto. A wing nut is threaded on the rod and forces the cleat element into clamping engagement with the planking.
