Roach is only 22ft and really 1. I have 50ft warps and one very long ft one for rafting or using as a shoreline when drying out. Searush New member. Joined 14 Oct Messages 26, Location - up to my neck in it. Mine are ' long ex-climbing ropes. But I moor up on a trot with fixed strops rather than in a marina, so my quayside mooring situation is different every time. Too long is not a problem, you can coil the excess on deck. Too short is useless!
Yes, decided to leave the two 5m ropes and replace with 2 extra 10m ropes. As has been said you can always coil the excess up on deck. Most of it is sun weakened to the point where a large dog tugging it might cause a problem!
Cleats are safe enough and the actual load on warps in Caernarfon is generally very low - provided they are long enough to cope with the tide going out. Using one length to do 2 or more jobs is bad practice. I believe one rope one job. If you need for any reason to adjust or release a warp one line doing 2 or more jobs can be a problem.

Have yet to feel the need for anything further. Polypropylene is the lightest of all textile fibres. It absorbs practically no water and is floatable. As a result, mooring lines made of this material are less likely to be caught on the boat propeller when manoeuvring in the harbour. Polypropylene is also very resistant to chemicals.
Unfortunately, these ropes are much less UV-resistant, more prone to abrasion, have a lower breaking force and are generally less durable than mooring ropes made of other materials. They should only be used if you need a floatable line i. As a precaution, order with a larger diameter than necessary. They are the most elastic of all materials used in the manufacture of mooring ropes. For many years, polyamide ropes quickly became very stiff and hence unmanageable. This is because polyamide absorbs a lot of water.
In the meantime, however, polyamide lines have now been much improved by manufacturers. The right diameter for mooring lines depends on the size of the ship. For yachts with a length of ten metres and a displacement of four to five tonnes, mooring lines with a diameter of 12 to 14 mm are suitable. To determine the necessary diameter of mooring lines for your boat you can use the following table for help:.
As regards the length of mooring lines, it is recommended to have four lines on board, two in the length of the boat as stern lines and another two approximately twice the length of the boat width for the bow to moor as 'med style' or 'stern to berth' with pillars or lead lines or four boat's length lines to moor bow and stern plus springs. This way you will be well equipped for various ports and moorings.
Furthermore, one or two longer lines are recommended to be kept on board, which you can use as manoeuvring or towing lines or as a shore line for lying in a packet. These lines may be at least twice the length of the boat. A spliced rope has a significantly higher breaking load than a knotted rope.
It is recommended to have mooring lines that are precisely made to measure, above all for your regular berth. But a spliced thimble or eye can also be quite useful when sailing. The rope can be attached directly to the ring on the pier or the harbour wall, or it can be coiled and secured by belaying pins without reducing the breaking load of the rope with a bowline.

Posted on 11 Nov How to set a boat anchor in 3 simple steps Avoiding tangles, choosing the scope, and more So you are looking to stop off for a few hours to relax and enjoy your boat, maybe to bask in the sunshine or take a dip in the sea, or perhaps even for an overnight stay? It's important to anchor your boat correctly.

These fenders are designed to be light, strong and ultra-resistant. Bow Lines - stop the boat moving in and out toward s th e dock. The Bow lines tied from the front or bows of the boat should be about 1.
These should be attached to cleats at the front the boat. You should have one on each side of the bows so as to be prepared for tying up on either side so 2 Bow l ines would be needed. Springs - mooring lines which are used to stop the boat moving backwards and forwards. One S pring is tied to a cleat at the back stern of the boat then tied to the quay near the front bows of the boat.
