But, do you know how to choose a right dock line for your boat?
As a general rule, the length of bow and stern lines should equal two-thirds of your boat's overall length. Spring lines should be slightly longer, approximately the same length as your boat.
Spring lines keep the boat snugly near the dock by preventing it from moving fore or aft, while allowing for the rise and fall of the tide. Keep in mind; the position of cleats on your boat and dock may affect the length of the dockline.
Unless your boat is unusually heavy or will be subjected to severe conditions, a bow line, stern line, and two spring lines are recommended. If your permanent slip has outboard pilings as well, you will need an additional bow and stern line.
When making a choice of line for your boat, different braids have different attributes and tensile strengths can vary by as much as 15%. Make your choice accordingly.
UTOP recommends that using Nylon Rope for dock and mooring lines, the stretch characteristics of nylon absorb shock and will resist damaging cleats on your boat and on your dock. Nylon is available in 3-strand or twisted line, 8-strand, 12-strand or Mega Braid and in a double braid or yacht braid.
Our dock and mooring lines are made to order, are professionally spliced and the bitter end is hand whipped to prevent the line from unraveling.
