Sure,
Here is a photo of the moorage system buoy, tied to the dock for service:

Here are photo of a "hook" which will engage the ring at the top of the mooring--an other type of moorings which have a steel ring on the top-- which fit on the end of a boat hook. The mooring line should be attached to the eye of the caribiner with a spliced eye and shackle.

Claims to hold boats up to 60 feet.

If you want to run a line back thru the ring (and there can be some chafe, so you have to decide if you can put chafing gear on or take a chance is the "happy hooker":

There is a messenger line which runs thru the eye, you place this end piece over the ring, push down, and it lacks on the other side of the jaws, bring the boat hook back, and then pull your line thru the ring, and double back to the boat.
 
Thanks Bob,

I generally just use a line through the buoy ring and back to the boat. A little more trouble to set up (especially if doing bow and stern) and longer lines needed, but I like being able to just release one end and pull the line in for leaving.

With the hooks it looks like you have to go to each buoy and unhook to leave. I have not noticed any significant chaff but I also don't generally stay for long periods.
