• Always stow and secure the anchor and line
before departing.
Lines and Knots
Mooring, anchor and other nautical lines are
constructed from many different types of
materials, and are available in many diameters
and styles. Consult with your local marine supply
store for a recommendation of appropriate lines
for your boat and application. Commonly used
mooring lines are constructed of a high-quality
synthetic material in a double-braided
configuration and usually have eye splices on at
least one end.
Learn and become familiar with tying and using
knots. Knowing how to use knots and lines
properly can prevent personal injury and property
damage.
Practice tying lines to docks, cleats and anchors,
and connecting two lines together. Consult other
qualified boaters or local marine authorities, or
visit your local bookstore, library or the Internet
for information on the proper use of nautical lines
and knots. The following illustrations represent a
few examples of securing mooring lines.
