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.
