A mooring line handling apparatus comprising a small diameter sheave, a large diameter sheave, the small sheave and the large sheave being axially mounted on a shaft secured to a base, a first line wrapped for at least part of its length on the large sheave, and an elastic line extending from an anchor to the small sheave for resisting rotation, by the elasticity of the elastic line, of the large sheave when a load is applied to unwrap the first line. A plurality of elastic lines of equal length can be used. Another version of mooring line handling apparatus has a lever pivotably secured to a base, a mooring line attached to a first end of the lever, and an elastic line extending from the anchor to the second end of the lever. A load applied to the mooring line pivots the lever which stretches the elastic line thereby effectively increasing the mooring line length as a load is applied.
