Correct. 1 point for Dave.

Have you seen triple coils used for line? What seems to work best is the
taper the size of the loops as you build our three coils.

What is the difference between "faking" and "flaking'?

To fake a line, you make figure 8 turns one on top of another so when the
line runs it runs free and isn't twisted coming off the heap. Essentially
the same thing you do when you take in braided line in lieu of coiling it.

Flaking is laying material or line in waves one on top of or beside the
other--what you do with your sail on the top of the boom. Could also be
done to line on deck.
