If.the.weather.looks.bad,.use.spring-lines.from.the.
bow.and.stern.to.dock.amidships.of.the.boat..Tie.up.
on.the.downwind.side.of.the.dock..If.the.wind.is.
changeable,.place.fenders.over.the.side.between.the.
boat.and.the.dock..
B. Mooring
After.you.have.positioned.your.boat.next.to.the.dock,.
you.must.secure.it.with.mooring.lines.to.keep.it.in.
position..Mooring.lines.must.be.long.enough.to.secure.
your.boat.in.any.docking.situation..For.example,.the.
length.of.the.lines.for.a.16-foot.runabout.should.be.at.
least.15.feet..An.eye.splice.at.the.end.of.each.line.
works.well.with.bow.or.stern.cleats..
The.mooring.lines.you.will.use.most.often.are.the.bow.
line,.the.stern.line,.and.spring.lines.as.shown.on.
Figure S-5. Each line has a specific purpose. The bow
line.and.the.stern.line.secure.your.boat’s.bow.and.
stern..The.two.spring.lines.keep.your.boat.from.
moving.forward.or.backward.when.you.are.moored.
alongside.a.dock..
If.you.are.mooring.your.boat.for.a.short.time,.bow.and.
stern.lines.may.be.the.only.lines.you.will.need..If.you.
are.mooring.your.boat.for.a.longer.time.or.the.currents.
are.swift,.you.should.use.spring.lines..The.stern.spring.
line.leads.from.the.boat’s.stern.cleat.forward.to.the.
piling.or.cleat.on.the.dock..The.bow.spring.line.leads.
from.the.bow.cleat.aft.to.the.dock..
If.you.are.mooring.your.boat.in.a.slip,.bow.and.spring.
lines,.port.and.starboard,.will.keep.your.boat.in.
position..
NOTE:
.If.tides.are.a.consideration,.be.sure.to.leave.
slack.in.the.lines.to.make.up.for.the.rise.and.fall.of.the.
water.while.your.boat.is.docked..
